Lochcarron/Kishorn Community Survey

Community Survey

Have Your Say

Help us update the Community Development Plan for Lochcarron by answering the questions below. The plan was designed 10 years ago and good progress has been made on issues that were highlighted in the previous survey. Several long-term projects that resulted from this survey are still ongoing, we now need to look further ahead to future projects. Your input is important; it will help to shape the future of your community and help access support from a wide range of sources in the future.

LCDC, with funding from HIE, have commission SKS Scotland to carry out the community survey and update the Community Development Plan. More information can be found on www.lochcarroncommunity.wordpress.com

No identifiable information will be shared with anyone outwith the research team. If you require any help with this survey, please email nickyhesketh@sksscotland.co.uk

The questionnaire should be completed by a person aged 16 or over, but please try to take account of all household members when giving your views.

Please complete this survey by 20 July 2020.

Thank You
