Housing Needs Questionnaire
The purpose of this questionnaire is to produce a set of statistics to illustrate the principal needs for housing on Arran - some of the people we wish to convince can only read numbers... As you will have gathered from the rest of this website, it is our intention to provide factual, contemporary evidence that present legislation discriminates against many who wish to enjoy and contribute to island life. This is your opportunity to add your contribution to the debate.
Respondents of age 16 or above, please. PLEASE - fill in all boxes in your categories. We are trying to compile an accurate demographic profile - your age does matter (we won't tell anyone...).
Your submission will be stored securely in accordance with the Data Protection Act. If you know of someone who should take part but does not have internet access, please offer them use of your computer. Replicated email addresses will not be automatically disqualified - if necessary we will mail you back just to check.
Please remember that your name and email address from this form will NOT be used in any analysis, will not be published here or elsewhere and will not be passed on to any third party. We ask for these only as a means of verifying the information as genuine.
May we suggest that, before clicking the Submit button, you print the completed page. This could be helpful (with your compliance) for use in a random sample to prove to those of a cynical nature that the data has not been "massaged".
