Public Consultation Results…
206 returned questionnaires
and from these it is clear that Minchinhampton residents/users of the Market House feel strongly about its future and the proposed alterations.
The ‘best’ things about the Market House were deemed to be
:
central location & the visual appeal of it;
that the people of Minchinhampton own it and can use it;
its history.
The ‘worst’ things about the Market House are issues regarding
:
toilets;
people who loiter and drink alcohol in the
undercroft
;
entrance and access.Slide10
