The Big Poundbury Conversation

1. Join the Conversation and Help Shape the Future

You may live or work (or both) in Poundbury. You may have been here for a while or maybe you are new. We want to know what you think about being here and, in particular, what kinds of change you would favour to make this an even better place to live or work. Join the conversation by completing the questionnaire. It is completely confidential and although we do ask for some personal information, the results are brought together in a completely anonymised format. It should only take you 10-15 minutes to complete.

If you would like us to come and have a fuller conversation with you let us know by dropping us an email at bigconversation@lovepoundbury.org

Thanks for giving this your time!
