Strathdearn Community Consultation – Summary of Main Findings
Dawn Griesbach
Griesbach & AssociatesMay2022
Introduction
This is a summary of the main findings from a community survey, focus groups and interviews carried out among people who live and work in Strathdearn. This work was undertaken as part of a project to develop an updated community plan for Strathdearn. The survey was carried out during September and October 2021, closing on 31 October. Alongside the survey, focus groups were held with children and young people in the area, and interviews were carried out with local business owners. Survey respondents, focus group participants and interviewees were asked for their views about the needs of the community. Questions in the survey focused specifically on needs in eight areas: (i) children and young people, (ii) community transport, (iii) housing, (iv) village pub / restaurant, (v) visitor management, (vi) tackling climate change and the impacts of climate change, (vii) other ideas for using windfarm funding, and (viii) community communication. A short section at the end of the survey invited responses from people living in Moy, on the needs of that community.
