Last updated 18th Apr 2021
People in the East Hampshire District Council area are being urged to fill in a survey on the future of its high streets.
Businesses and residents can now fill in a questionnaire which is being issued as part of moves to help towns and villages recover from the pandemic.
The District Council has commissioned advisors, Heartflood, to produce a Covid-19 Recovery Plan for the borough.
Work on the plans will begin immediately, focusing on Alton, Clanfield, Four Marks, Grayshott, Horndean, Liphook, Liss, Petersfield and Whitehill & Bordon.
Heartflood will make assessments and recommendations and will investigate the immediate recovery and long-term sustainability of each place.

Simon Jenkins, Director of Regeneration and Place at East Hampshire District Council, said: "The coronavirus pandemic is likely to have a profound effect on the district's high streets and residents' shopping habits.
"This research will help us to understand how the attitudes of consumers and high street businesses have changed, and what we can do as a local authority to support those businesses over the coming years.
"I encourage as many residents and businesses as possible to complete the survey so we can get a really clear idea of what you think."
