Shaping Bude's Coast Together

Welcome to this survey.  If you live in, are employed in, or own a business in Bude, we would really like to hear from you.  This survey includes questions about living or working in Bude; what issues are important to you; and what you know and think about how climate change might affect Bude, particularly in relation to coastal erosion and coastal flooding.  The survey should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Participation in this survey is totally voluntary but, if you do decide to take part, your time is very much appreciated.  All participants who complete the survey, in full, can opt into a prize draw to win a voucher for a local business in Bude.  Full terms and conditions are outlined below.  

Your participation in this survey will be anonymous. You will only be required to provide your name or contact details if you choose to enter the prize draw. Your contact details will only be used for the purposes of the prize draw or to keep you up to date with project progress. 

All other information you provide in this survey will be used to inform the Future Coast Bude project, including to shape community consultation events to be held later in 2026, where there will be more opportunity to input into shaping Bude's coast together.

The Data Controller for the information you provide in this survey is Cornwall Council, New County Hall, Treyew Road, Truro TR1 3AY. Data Protection Registration Number: Z1745294. Your information may be processed by our project partners the Environment Agency and Bude-Stratton Town Council for the purposes outlined above. Once the survey has closed, your data will be held within Cornwall Council’s secure network and premises for up to 2 years. 

Where we ask you to supply personal data on this form, we will only make access to this data available to authorised members of staff of Cornwall Council, the Environment Agency and Bude-Stratton Town Council who are required to process it for the purposes outlined above. Please note that other information you provide, such as responses to open questions, may be published in full.
