Business Survey Questionnaire

Introduction

This survey is open to businesses / organisations located in Levenmouth. For the purposes of the survey, Levenmouth is defined as the KY8 and KY9 postcodes, so we are interested in your views if you have a business location within these postcodes.

The Levenmouth Rail Link will reopen on 2nd June 2024. Transport Scotland, along with Jacobs and IBP Strategy & Research, is undertaking research to investigate the impacts of the Levenmouth Rail Link on communities in the Levenmouth area. As part of this we need to know about business / organisation conditions in the area, before new services commence.

The survey is aimed at businesses across the potential catchment area of the new line and asks for background information on your business as well as issues to do with your awareness of the Levenmouth Rail Link and its potential impact on your business operations and performance.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Additional surveys will be conducted in the future to test the impact that the re-opening of the Levenmouth Rail Link has on businesses / organisations.

The survey is the first in a series designed to analyse the impact of the Levenmouth Rail Line reopening on businesses/organisations. Businesses / organisations may therefore be resurveyed in in the future.
