HALL USER SURVEY RESPONSES
In a separate survey regular hirers (22) were polled and 13 responded. Survey responses rated (a) current hall facilities and (b) their importance and gathered comments on (c) new hall additional facilities. These results show responses very much in line with the community survey with small exceptions on current hall facilities where greater importance was given to outside space and to the Darenth Room.
