Stats & Data Gathering Group

#

Back to Focus Groups Overview

Gathering statistics and data on anything that may be of relevance to the groups and to the overall benefit of everyone.

Stats and data will be absolutely key when it comes to negotiating and liaising with local and national government and various others and of course proving the need for supports changes needed in many, many areas.

At the moment this group is undertaking the gruelling task of coming up with a more realistic and truer estimation of affected properties and property types.

While it will be almost impossible to get an accurate number at this time we believe the current estimates of 5000 homes affected is a severe underestimation which is detrimental for all of us in our fight for support and necessary help and changes that are needed.

We would be very grateful if you could lend your support to this group if you feel you can offer your skills and ideas.

Gathering essential data and statistics vital to this entire crisis. This group is currently undertaking the huge task of getting an accurate and true number of affected properties and types of properties throughout the county.
