Feedback wanted on Motorway Rest Areas
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Alan Simpson, a postgraduate student from the University of Aberdeen, is currently undertaking research for his dissertation regarding the construction of motorway rest areas.
Motorway Rest Areas were created by new legislation in 2008, covering England and Wales, and so far only one exists in the UK. However, mainland Europe has had them for years. They are smaller than Motorway Service Areas and are not legally obliged to provide as many facilities.
Alan is looking to find out if these smaller sites have a future in the UK and whether or not motorists actually see a demand for what they offer and would use them, and has set up an online questionnaire for motorists to complete. This should take around ten minutes.
As an added incentive, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win £25 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers. The winner will be picked at random in September 2010. Your name and email will only be utilised by Alan for this purpose and will not be passed to any third parties.
