Business Survey

By john Chenier

The Echo sent out a survey to businesses in Lowertown seeking  in an effort to develop a picture of what our businesses have been through and how they see things developing as we emerge from the lockdown but operate under new rules.

The questions were?

  1. Were you able to keep some part of your business going during the lockdown?
  2. What type of business do you operate?
  3. Are you open for business now or plan to open soon?
  4. Have you had to remodel your premises to facilitate opening under social distance rules?
  5. Do you think your business location can be adapted to support social distancing?
  6. How confident are you that customers will quickly return to shop or buy?
  7. Do you have concerns that customers and/or employees could contract COVID in the workplace?
  8. Which of the following special precautions will you be adopting to protect employees and customers?

Here are the answers we received
