Please select all that apply More green space Better recycling facilities Better healthcare provision (Doctors, dentists) Better school provision Exercise facilities More pedestrian friendly streets Better parking for residents Other (please provide details) What do you think about increased pedestrianisation of the Merchant City area One of the issues that has been raised in the past is the possibility of extending the pedestrianisation within the Merchant City - at present, the southern half of Candleriggs is pedestrianised from 11am onwards. How do you feel about increasing the pedestrianisation, e.g. all of Candleriggs, or around Hutcheson St/Wilson St/Brunswick St? I'd like to see increased pedestrianisation of all or part of the Merchant City, as it would encourage visitors to a person friendly area I think increased pedestrianisation would make my life more difficult, and might discourage visitors Other comments (please write below) None Please provide any other comments you'd like to share Please provide the first part of your postcode (e.g. G1 1) This is to help us understand where our respondents live.
