Public Questionnaires

Public Realm Questionnaire - Summer 2022

Our public realm questionnaire ran from 16th May 2022 to 31st July 2022, seeking views on how people interact with Shanklin Esplanade, what is most valued about it, and the perceptions amongst stakeholders of flood and coastal erosion risks both now and in the future. This will help to inform how we engage with stakeholders going forward, and capture any concerns, ideas and opportunities in the shortlist of options that we present to the public in Summer 2023.

A copy of the response summary report can be found here if you would like to find out more about the responses received and our response to them.
