A survey has been launched to garner people’s views on a seaside trial in Aberystwyth over the summer.

Ceredigion council has opened the survey to gain people’s views on a food and beverage trial that was held along the town’s promenade.

Several local caterers such as the Express Restaurant and Electra Moto-Gear sold food and drink to be consumed on tables and chairs along the promenade following a temporary relaxing of previously strict rules.

The council now wants promenade users both local and visitors, as well as traders who took part in the trial or who are interested in it, to have their say by visiting the council’s website to complete the survey, Aberystwyth Promenade Food & Beverage Trial, Public/Traders Feedback Questionnaire, at www.ceredigion.gov.uk/consultations

Cllr Rhodri Evans, Cabinet member with responsibility for economy and regeneration, said: “Food and beverages sales were trialled on Aberystwyth promenade during the summer. We are interested in the experience of the public, including local people and visitors alike, who experienced the trial.

"We would also like to hear from traders. Without them, we would not be able to carry out such an experiment.

“We look forward to reading the responses so we can consider and implement any changes necessary to improve the experience in future years.”

The survey is open until Friday, 24 January.
