Town Centre Businesses Quizzed In a Major Survey Kirkcaldy Town Centre Management (KTCM) this week revealed plans of a major survey of opinion of all town centre businesses on a range of town centre issues. Over 300 questionnaires are being hand delivered on Thursday (12th April 2007) in what is hoped will reveal a clearer picture of the issues that matter to businesses. KTCM Chairman, Sean Kennedy, stated, “We are undertaking the first major survey of town centre businesses and are interested in learning about the issues that impact on their operation in Kirkcaldy Town Centre and also their views about the Town Centre itself. Our hope is to allow the businesses to shape the future of the town centre while helping themselves. The results will be used to develop our own business strategy and lobby various agencies to improve the business environment”.
As one of the major stakeholder groups within our community, KTCM has engaged with a number of business groups - Major Retailers Forum, Retail Radio Link members, East End Traders’ Association, Kirkcaldy Pubwatch - as well as individual businessmen and businesswomen but I believe this is the first time town centre businesses collectively have been asked their opinion. The results should offer KTCM a fuller understanding of the challenges facing businesses in what is becoming an increasingly competitive environment and allow us to make an even more determined impact in the town centre and business environment.” The
results will be discussed at the next KTCM Board meeting at the
end of April and be published thereafter.
