Results of the Consultations:

1. At the Farmer's Market:

A straw poll was conducted at random: 141 complete replies were gained.
Responses to each were ranged on a scale of 5:
Strongly support/support/indifferent/against/strongly against.

The make-up of those questioned was:

Male	Female	0-16	17-25	26-35	36-50	51+
77	64	5	9	37	47	43

91% said they were in favour of the whole project.

The following is a summary, with the total in favour (or against) being the sum of those expressing a strong feeling or just for/against.

	Total in favour	strongly in favour	Total against	strongly against	Indifferent
Ent design	91%	60%	6%	2%	3%
20ft height	82%	42%	13%	1%	5%
Higher statue	31%	13%	47%	4%	22%
Smaller statue	13%	2%	62%	10%	25%
stainless steel	79%	36%	12%	2%	9%
On the Green	94%	53%	5%	2%	1%

• As can be seen, the design and suggested location on the Green were very strongly supported.
• 47% did not want it higher than 20 ft but 62% did not want it lower.
• Conversely, 53% are indifferent or supportive of it being higher compared to 38% smaller.
• Stainless steel was also strongly supported, but drew a number of comments requesting a more mottled effect using a coating of bronze and copper, which hadn’t been a choice in the questionnaire.
• See Appendix 2a for the exact totals in each category
• See Appendix 3 for a summary of the comments made.

2. Survey of the Traders:

75 traders responding to the survey, 97% were in favour of the overall project.

	Total in favour	Strongly in favour	Total against	Strongly against	Indifferent
Ent design in stainless steel	81%	31%	3%	0%	16%
20 ft height	83%	35%	4%	0%	13%
On the Green	92%	57%	0%	0%	8%

• The results of this are even more conclusively in favour on every account.
• Some comments were again recorded during the survey that the use of bronze and copper might add to the design
• There was strong opposition to any other site as they wanted to see the village centre become more of an attraction.
