Recent survey results
The number of responses to the recent surveys made them both relevant and revealing. They helped Town in its decision making process and as such gave the respondents a voice in the direction of issues of major interest to residents of the town. The results of the surveys and the responses can be found below, or if your browser doesn’t support frames then follow the link that replaces the information.
Hot on the heels of those successful surveys is another, regarding parking tickets. The issuing of tickets has a direct effect upon visitor experience and again your input is sought, as before the invitation to participate in feedback is extended to non members.
On Monday May 25th Bylaw services are expected to bring a report to council which will relate to time related parking offences. This survey is intended to provide council with input on this issue.
