The questions were open-ended, and the facilitators received a detailed brief and examples of prompts beforehand. Notes were taken by note takers that were independent from the DLR PPN, in this case, dlr County Council staff. The survey was divided into three main sections - not including the preliminary information required to proceed to Section 1. All answers to these submission questions have been anonymised, which we announced repeatedly. The three sections were as follows: ● SECTION 1 - In this section, you will be considering our existing community, the community you live or work in. ● SECTION 2 - Here you will tell us how we can retain and improve upon what we already have. ● SECTION 3 - This is where we ask you to tell us about your vision for your community for the future. Similarly to the workshops, all questions in the survey were open-ended, allowing for a maximum of flexibility in the response. Also, very importantly, we did not make any of the questions in Sections 1 to 3 compulsory, and we repeatedly communicated that respondents could answer strictly on the area/ topic of interest.

The online workshops were attended by 71 participants and the feedback was gathered by note taking and recordings of the meetings to ensure all data was collected. Survey: There were 331 respondents ● 30.21% (100 answers) stated that they are members of a community/ voluntary or sporting group based in DLR. ● A majority of 88% participants completed the survey as an individual, while 12% made submissions on behalf of a group. ● The submissions on behalf of groups amount to more than 3,510 local members.
