Vision for Helensburgh:
Take the Survey

Familiarise Yourself with Key Areas: The questions are based around the Live, Work, Play, and Thrive sections of our website. Reviewing these areas will help you understand the context of the survey questions.

Allow Sufficient Time: Some questions may require thoughtful consideration. Set aside adequate time to complete the survey without rushing. We’d suggest around 20 minutes.

Choose the Right Survey: If you live within Helensburgh's town boundaries, please complete the Resident Survey. If you live outside these boundaries (including in Rhu, Cardross, or other nearby areas) but visit Helensburgh for work, shopping, or leisure, please complete the Visitor Survey. Selecting the correct survey ensures your responses are properly categorised for the Local Place Plan submission.

Preview the Questions: A downloadable copy of the surveys are available for review before you start. This can help you prepare your thoughts in advance.

Save and Return Option: If you're using the same device, you can leave and return to the survey later. Your progress will be saved.

Gather Relevant Information: Have any necessary information about your experiences in Helensburgh ready before starting.

Consider the Bigger Picture: Think about both your personal needs and the broader community's interests when answering questions.

Be Specific: When asked for suggestions or improvements, try to provide specific examples or locations where possible.

Honesty is Key: Your honest opinions are valuable. Don't hesitate to express both positive and negative experiences.

Impact of Your Answers: Remember, your responses will directly inform Helensburgh's future development plans.

Privacy: Your individual responses will be kept confidential and used only for planning purposes.

Technical Requirements: Ensure you have a stable internet connection before starting the online survey.

Accessibility: If you need any accessibility accommodations to complete the survey, please contact us beforehand.
