harpenden town centre research

The Town Council recently commissioned independent research to gather the opinions of residents and town centre businesses on accessing and visiting Harpenden’s town centre. We have now received the findings from the research. You can read the Independent findings report here.

The Town Council will be considering its view on this report at the end of this month and a further update will be published then.

We are awaiting the final costs of the research, however we expect the total cost to be c£30k. The business element of the research will be £10k and the residents research is c£20k, however the final figure depends on the number of hard copy surveys requested.
