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.
2023 Survey
Pedestrian and car park surveys will take place in the Town Centre and West Bay on 6 dates across July – October 2023. A survey of services and products available in the Town centre will be conducted on July 26th 2023.
