Free Market Radicals is working with local communities to identify projects (arts, creative, heritage, community) that would generate new interest in the area and encourage more people to spend time there. 

We are funded through the National Lottery’s Emerging Futures Fund (EFF). EFF is supporting a number of projects across the UK to help communities think about their future against the backdrop of Covid-19, looking at how things are changing and what is possible. Please answer looking forward beyond the current Covid-19 lockdowns if possible (as the answers you provide will be relevant well into the future). 

This survey will gather information on local attitudes to local issues and help identify new projects or initiatives for your area. We want to hear about what you love and what you want to see more of, so the ideas generated are designed for the people who live and do business there. Please share this survey with others if you can by sharing this link:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/freemarketradicals1

It will only take about 5 minutes to complete.
