The following is a questionnaire that Gallions and Peabody are trying to gather answers to. Since I don’t see many of the Thamesmead locals in a face to face context, it made sense for me to put it here and try to garner some answers. If you don’t mind answering directly then please comment below. If you’d like your answers to remain private, please say so and I won’t mark them as visible to others. The wording, phrasing and questions are all theirs, I am only presenting it for responses!
