Cllr Judith Guthrie, executive board member for environment and public protection, said: “The survey is asking local residents to comment on their experiences of nightlife across the town, with a focus on the cultural quarter, Bridge Street and Stockton Heath. We want to find out how people feel about the numbers and types of bars and restaurants available and any effect that these premises, and the people who use them, have on the local community.”
“There is also an opportunity to comment on the current opening times of pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants and to let us know about the types of establishments they would like to see open across the borough.”
“The information we gather from this consultation will help us to shape the future of our night time economy. It will also give us an important insight into peoples’ views and aspirations for the borough’s nightlife and how we can continue to improve it.”
