1. A community Survey

 
Eyemouth and District Community Trust's aim is to provide facilities and services that will improve this community and enhance the lives of the people who live here.   One of the Trusts aspirations is to take the iconic Town Hall into community ownership to provide community facilities and business services. These will be run by the community for the community to develop the prosperity and resilience of Eyemouth.  This will only happen if the community wants it, if it will have an obvious benefit and if it is going to be financially viable. The Trust is keen that the use of the building reflect the current needs of the community (both individual residents and groups). Your views will help to shape the future development of the facility and the services we offer, helping make Eyemouth a more vibrant place where people want to stay, work and visit. 

We would appreciate it if you would complete the questionnaire below. All information is gathered in the strictest confidence and should take no more than 15 minutes.  Questionnaires can be completed online if you type this link into your browser (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Eyemouth_Town_Hall).   

Alternatively, you can bring them along to the Hippodrome on the 18th April between 10am and 12, when we are holding an open meeting.   We are being assisted by consultants from Community Enterprise so, if you need any help or clarification, please call Douglas on 01506 862227.
