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.

…Public Consultation Results

 Awareness of activities - highest for Art Classes, Folk and Theatre Nights.  Glassing-in undercroft - majority of respondents (105 people) in favour (either partially or wholly) in order to make this area a more usable space, while 77 people dislike the idea, although some of these said that partial glassing in might be ok.  Modernising toilets - majority of respondents in favour (further debate required about their relocation).  Installation of a lift - majority are in favour (more discussion needed around location and cost).  Importance of providing a stage – mixed reaction (50:50)
