What the survey results said about Better Connections
Almost 200 of the 260 folk who responded to the survey mentioned transport as a challenge facing the community. Road maintenance (potholes and winter gritting) was mentioned by 80 people. Broadband, mobile and landline services were mentioned as a challenge by 30 people, with the vast majority of those focussing on broadband.
When asked for their aspirations, 120 people mentioned better connections. These included:
- Some form of public or community transport: 44 people
- Improve the road network: 25 people (noting that a few folk said just fix the roads, don’t widen them!)
- Footpath or cycle tracks alongside roads (particularly for young people going to school or others who want to walk to the shop or to see people): 25 people
- better broadband: 17 people
- Electric vehicle charging points: 7 people
- Local petrol/diesel filling station: 2 people
