Supporting local businesses: please share our survey

You may remember that last summer, we sent out surveys to find out how residents and businesses felt with regards to COVID-19.  These surveys were very useful in helping us plan an approach to support businesses and residents and we now have an updated version, which will help us to compare how attitudes have changed and identify how best to support South Cambridgeshire’s local businesses as they continue to navigate this challenging time.

Both surveys (for residents and business owners) can be found on our website page for South Cambridgeshire COVID-19 surveys (www.scambs.gov.uk/COVIDsurveys).

 

Your help in completing and sharing these surveys with your networks would be much appreciated. 

 

For more information, please contact: reopening@scambs.gov.uk
