For all of you who completed the survey a very big thank you, there were some interesting (and some surprising) results, but that is an observation from a cursory glance.

There were about 400 surveys which were completed online and another 650 completed in paper form.

The online version answers can be analysed fairly easily but the delay has been getting the paper versions put into the online format so that all the results can be analysed. Converting the results has taken time as we (the survey group) investigated the cost of entering the data from the paper surveys. Evenually we found an acceptable solution and We expect to see some results this week, this should allow us to release some meaningful results from the tick box parts of the survey.

If you remember the questionaire had space for you to express you views on subjects which didn’t fall into tick box categories – this will be the subject of the next part of our project. Many of the open questions were reinforcing tick box answers and some were a unique point – they all have to be noted and brought together into a meaningfull report which will become part of the Silsden Town Plan.

Than you for your patience, something is happening – honest!
