Consultation Survey

Introduction

Thanks to the investment and involvement from our levy payers, we’re creating a better Bristol: one that’s more caring, more welcoming, safer, cleaner, wonderfully diverse, and better promoted.

Our guiding principles are to offer strong and effective governance, to have clear accountability, to give our levy payers value for money and to be responsive to our levy payer’s needs.

As we prepare for our second term, the delivery of our operations stays consistent as we plan to assume a more strategic role developing our objectives. However, we need to understand from businesses where your priorities are and what support you need during this post pandemic recovery period.

To ensure that we are acting in the best interests of our businesses, please take the time to consider the questions in this survey and provide feedback on our current operations and future vision.

The closing date for this initial consultation is Wednesday 20th July at 5pm.

Thank you for your input.

All our projects and initiatives to date have been focused around four core themes: Improving the safety, improving the welcome, acting in best interests and promoting success, the following questions are organised to reflect the same logic.
