There was an excellent response to the public consultation held between May and July 2010, with over 70% of respondents surveyed agreeing with our new approach.
In total, 510 people attended public meetings and 2,400 attended the exhibition, whilst 1446 questionnaires were completed.
3,195 local school students also took part in consultation events, which included visiting the exhibitions, and participating in school based projects.
In order to ensure the impartiality of the consultation, Folkestone Harbour Company commissioned Canterbury Christ Church University to carry out the public consultation. This included staffing the exhibits, designing the questionnaires, and evaluating the data. The resulting analysis can be viewed here and will inform the Farrell Masterplan.
