Impact on Business

West Malling Parish Council and West Malling Chamber of Commerce meet regularly with Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council to discuss issues relating to parking and trading profitability in our town. We are currently discussing with them the creation of a new car park primarily for workers.

In order to inform our discussions we would welcome your feedback, and ask you to please answer the following four questions. It will take only two or three moments of your time. We will feed back the results, which will be anonymised, to you.
