Supply and Demand

Most of you (86%) say Southampton Way is your closest shopping district, while the other 14% find it equally close or a viable option. 89% do shop on Southampton Way – 39% shop ‘quite often’, 25% ‘often’ and the remaining 25% ‘not very often’. Only 11% don’t shop along the strip at all. Further in the survey, all of you report you could be lured to shop or shop more often on Southampton Way.

At present, for your other ‘local shopping’, 41% walk farther away, 21% drive and 14% take public transport. One quarter of you clicked ‘other’ and your individual replies can be seen in the comments (click on the 'comments' icon below). Clearly, a message is emerging that with some work, we could reduce a bit of congestion and demonstrate demand for more shop variety.
