Bridport Town Centre Health Check Survey 2025

Why a Health Check is needed?

Health Checks are a means of assessing the vitality, viability, resilience and performance of town centres over time. The results from health check exercises will be used to formulate strategies for improvements and inform policy documents.

The Bridport Area Neighbourhood Plan recognises that the retail and cultural offer of the Centre of Bridport is a critical element for the future viability of the local economy as well as underpinning the quality of life for residents. The neighbourhood plan includes a project to undertake regular health checks of the commercial offer provided by the Centre of Bridport. The data being used to inform development proposals and build a robust evidence base for future reviews of the local and neighbourhood plans.

Town Centre Health Check – Consultation

Bridport Town Council are undertaking a Town Centre Health Check to gather evidence on how the Town Centre is performing and where improvements will be needed to adjust to the fast-moving world of high street retail.

As part of this we would love it if shoppers and retailers could take part in a quick survey to give their opinions of the town centre.

All fully completed shoppers survey forms submitted by the closing date of 10th October 2025 will be entered into a prize draw with a range of prizes provided by Bridport Tourist Information Centre. Paper versions will be available at our reception at Mountfield and in Bridport Tourist Information Centre.
