A NEW survey is seeking to establish the biggest challenges facing people in Malvern.

Members of Great Malvern Priory are today (Friday) launching their survey with a view to seeing exactly what difficulties there are and how the church might help.

The survey will be running for three weeks and is available to fill in online or in paper form.

Priory vicar, Rev John Barr, said he hoped to receive feedback from people of all ages who either live in, work in, or are visitors to Malvern.

“As the Priory is looking at its priorities for the coming years, we feel it is really important to hear what others think are the main challenges facing Malvern, and also how the local church, including the Priory, might be involved in helping to address these issues,” he said.

“This is the first time we have done something like this and the greater the response we get, the more beneficial it will be. We hope that many people of different ages and views will be willing to help us.”

The survey can be filled out online by logging onto www.surveymonkey.com/s /R88QVDV. Paper forms are available from the Priory office in Church Street, by calling 01684 561020, or by e-mail at office@greatmalvernprior y.org.uk.
