Evaluation of ERDF Llandaf and Radyr Train Station Improvements Project – Online Survey
The Welsh Government has commissioned Carreg Las, working with Loxley Consultancy, to undertake an evaluation of Llandaf and Radyr station improvement projects.
The aim of this evaluation is to understand the management and delivery of the station improvements project, assess performance against stated outputs and objectives and explore wider outcomes and impact. As part of this evaluation Carreg Las and Loxley Consultancy will be gathering information through online surveys.
The Welsh Government is the data controller for the research. However, Carreg Las and Loxley Consultancy will delete any personal data provided through the surveys, and anonymise the raw data, before it is shared with the Welsh Government.
The information collected during the project will be included in reports published on the Welsh Government website and possibly in other publications by Carreg Las and Welsh Government.
Your views and experiences are important in order to help inform Welsh Government policies. Your participation in this research is completely voluntary and will remain anonymous.
