Interactions Research will compile and produce a report on the findings.
Laois County Council is announcing a weeklong extension to the deadline for the commuter survey it has initiated.
The survey is being run to capture the commuting patterns of Laois residents who work outside the county, in a bid to help market the county from an economic point of view as a destination of choice for investment.
It is being carried out by leading Market Research Company, Interactions Research.
Dom Reddin, Acting Head of Enterprise at Laois County Council says:
“We are really pleased with the numbers of residents who have responded to our survey so far. It is providing us with very valuable insights as, for the first time ever, we are hearing directly from Laois commuters about their experiences. The insights of Laois commuters matter to us and will help shape policies that make working closer to home a reality, reduce travel times and strengthen our local economy. This is real community engagement, and I would urge those who haven’t yet completed our survey, to do so”.
The anonymous survey explores County Laois commuters’ current work status and commuting patterns, where and how often they travel for work, their education, skills and employment sectors, as well as their views on living and working in Laois.
Angela McEvoy, Director of Services at Laois County Council, says:
“The survey’s findings will identify key locations within Laois where skills and talent are concentrated. This will allow us to develop strategies which will attract investment and stimulate future economic development.
