Businesses across west Norfolk are being encouraged to complete a new coronavirus business impact survey, to help the Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk and other agencies focus their economic response and recovery efforts on current and emerging issues. Cllr Graham Middleton, Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk Cabinet Member for Business Development said: “We are acutely aware of how challenging it is for many businesses at the moment. We need businesses to take part in this survey so that we can fully understand the nature of those challenges and what sorts of things might help them now and in the future.” The survey is available online at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/2021CouncilSurvey and should take around 15 minutes to complete. Businesses can complete the survey more than once if circumstances or their views change. Survey response data is non-business-specific and will directly inform both our conversations and our economic response and recovery work with partners from Government, New Anglia LEP, other local authorities and local business groups. Cllr Middleton added: “The more we understand about the pressures local businesses are under, the more we can tailor support to help them recover from the pandemic. The survey will be open for a while and we would urge businesses to complete it more than once if they are affected by changes in government guidance etc. We recognise that this is not a static situation, but one that is ever-changing.”
