Community survey

Making the Most of Milngavie (MMM)is a sub group of Milngavie Community Council who have embarked on a 6 month exercise to produce a Community Action Plan. The first of three steps is to hold a month-long Community Survey. Every household in Milngavie will receive a paper copy before the end of this month.

We hope residents will complete the survey when it arrives.  It can also be completed on-line at www.surveymonkey.com/s/milngavie
Once the results of this survey are collated there will be a serious of meetings for residents to have a say in the shaping of the Action Plan.

We hope that you will be able to take the time to complete this and support this initiative.
