Wakefield Council has commissioned Enventure Research to undertake a programme of engagement with Markets Service stakeholders. The findings from the engagement programme will feed into a wider review of the Markets Service, which will provide the basis of an improvement plan that will contribute to improved provision, service efficiency and effectiveness, and secure the long-term prosperous delivery of markets in the Wakefield district. Enventure Research will conduct a telephone survey with 800 residents from the district that is representative in terms of age group, ethnic group, area and sex, as well as a self-completion survey administered online and via a paper survey with traders and residents. In addition, our researchers will moderate focus groups and in depth interviews with Markets Service staff and college students. Enventure Research will provide Wakefield Council with a comprehensive report on the findings from the engagement in December 2021.
