WRA Survey re PGA Championship

This survey was distributed by the WRA to its list of Wentworth Road Rate Payers (WRRP) and to their other members. The following 151 responses were taken at 1300 on 17 February after the survey had been live for just over 24 hours. Of the 630 WRRP nearly a third are through nominee or management companies so it is difficult to access the ultimate owners. That would leave c.400 so to date we have a 30% to 35% response rate from WRRP plus 22 from other residents.

1. Do you live in a household that pays Wentworth Road Rates?

1. There are 102 responses to the request for comments that will assist the Wentworth Estate Roads Committee in representing WRRP interests regarding the PGA Championship. They represent a wide variety of views and require some more time to analyse but can be made available separately when the survey closes on Friday 19 February.

2. Given the level of interest in the survey and the rapid response it has

generated it is no surprise that 111 respondents have requested a copy of the survey results.
