Lancaster HSHAZ Property Owner and Occupiers Survey- End of Programme

We carried out a survey of property owners and occupiers at the start of the HSHAZ, and now that the programme is drawing to a close, we are following this up with a further survey. Your property may have benefited from a grant. You may have seen some of the wider building and public realm improvements, taken part in one the many Cultural Programme, Mill Race: Flow of Change, events, or perhaps one of the HSHAZ workshops, talks or tours of the area. You may be able to see how the Mill Race programme might have left a lasting legacy for the area, changed your perception of the area or take a view on how the achievements could be furthered.You may be able to see how the HSHAZ programme might have left a lasting legacy for the area, changed your perception of the area or take a view on how the achievements could be furthered.

We would really appreciate it if you could spare some time to provide us with your thoughts. We will use this data to inform our assessment of the programme and to help inform the future works and activities. This will include sharing appropriate information with our delivery partners.
