    Uploaded by

    Susan Guy
    The survey collected responses from 53 local residents regarding home energy efficiency, access to locally produced food, use of public transport, and interest in local employment and initiatives. Key findings include: over half of homes are not considered energy efficient mainly due to age and lack of insulation/upgrades; while some shop locally for food, others cite cost and availability as barriers; public transport is not always convenient or frequent enough for residents' travel needs; and there is interest in getting involved in local initiatives related to energy, food, transport, health and employment.
