Public Questionnaires

June 2022 - Public Realm Questionnaire

Our public realm questionnaire ran from June to August 2022, giving you an opportunity to share what you most value about the coastal frontage at Culver Parade, Yaverland. This was also an opportunity for you to express any concerns or share ideas for improvement that we can consider when developing our short list of potential options to refurbish the coastal defences.

We sought views on how the Yaverland coastal frontage and nearby leisure/tourism offering is used, what is most valued about it, and the perceptions amongst stakeholders of flood and coastal erosion risks both now and in the future. This helps 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.

How do you use the Culver Parade Leisure Area?

We observed that ‘walking/running’ and ‘access to the shore/sea’ were selected as the most popular usage of the Yaverland coastal frontage and look forward to continuing our discussions around accessibility and inclusion.
