Transition Town Lewes (TTL)

The TTL Steering group and myself, Rosie Sibley, studying at Sussex University, are hoping to gather some information about those who read the TTL newsletter or visit the TTL website. I am doing my final year dissertation on how community groups, like Transition Town Lewes, help overcome the problems which prevent people considering the environment every day.

We would really appreciate it if you could complete the following survey. This survey consists of 13 questions and should take you less than 5 minutes. The questionnaire is anonymous, however, results will be shared with the TTL Steering group.

If you have any further questions or comments please contact me at rjs33@sussex.ac.uk, alternatively contact Juliet on 07887 556 177.

Thank You.
