We collect your personal data from the information you supply to us on any form or correspondence. We may collect the following information about you: your name, email address or your postcode. This is important, because we want to make sure the feedback we collect can be verified and has been provided by real people. It also enables us to keep you informed and up to date with developments regarding this project.

Information about your postcode is used to determine that you are eligible to sign our petition and helps us to understand and map which neighbourhoods have and have not responded.
