Napier University Project looking at Increasing Community Council Engagement

A group of students from Napier University are undertaking a project on behalf of the New Town and Broughton Community Council to look at how we might broaden our engagement with our local community and in particular younger residents. They have produced a questionnaire to allow them to gather views on this subject. A QR code to take you to the survey is also shown below.

Please let them know your views and pass on the link to others in our community especially any younger residents that you know.
