Dear local business owner,
As you may know, the Strathdearn Community Plan is currently being updated. This work is being taken forward by a Steering Group comprising representatives of Strathdearn Community Council, Strathdearn Community Developments, and the Strathdearn Community Charitable Trust. An independent researcher, Dawn Griesbach (Griesbach & Associates) is assisting the Steering Group.
We are keen to get the perspectives of local businesses on what our community’s priorities should be for the next five years, and whether there is anything that needs to be done to better support economic development in Strathdearn. Dawn will be arranging a small number of focus groups (face-to-face and online) to talk to local business owners in the week beginning 18 October and the week beginning 25 October. If you are self-employed, or run a small or large local business, we would love to hear from you.
The focus groups will run for about 1 hour and will involve between 4-6 other local business owners. We are anticipating that three focus groups will be held, and the time and date of these will be arranged to suit those who would like to attend.
If you would like to participate, please contact Dawn at d.griesbach@griesbach-research.co.uk by Sunday 17 October.
Dawn will then get back to you to ask for details about your availability, and whether you would prefer a face-to-face discussion (in the Strathdearn Community Hall) or an online discussion.
