As the questionnaire stands, it seems to me that the results are likely to be skewed towards younger, more tech savvy members of the parish rather than represent the views of the whole community. Some of the questions prompt responses rather than allow a nul reply, which can't be right. It may be a quick and easy way to get data, but there really is no honest alternative to door-to-door canvassing, which can't be done at the moment. Perhaps the timing is awry.
I know everyone has the best motives for the village, and that spare time has gone into this, but we all know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If anyone was in any doubt as to the feelings of the community, they had only to attend the meeting held in Penryn regarding the Antron Way development two years ago. They were made pretty clear there.
I will probably not fill in the questionnaire because I do not feel it will give a balanced reflection of Mabe views. Maybe an appeal for thoughts in the Mabe Matters when it resumes might bring useful data.
Hi Denise,
Whilst I understand your concerns, any data is better than no data, so please do complete the questionaire. To conunter the young tec savvy syndrome, we have hand delivered to post card to every household in the parish, with an invite to obtain a paper copy should they wish.
As one of the instigators of the Penryn meeting you mention in your post, be assured i and the NDP steering group are well aware of many of the feelings of the community.
What we need are statistics to back them up. If you prefer to use our face book page or theis forum to voice your concerns, or even e mail them direct to me, be asured they will all get equal merrit and consideration. My contact e mail is on this web site, so have your say.
Keith
