SASIG Questionnaire on Local Authority Preparedness and Attitudes to Advanced Mobility
To help frame the agenda for engagement with Government policy makers, regulators, the industry, communities and wider stakeholder interests, SASIG is also undertaking a survey of Local Authority preparedness and attitudes towards Advanced Air Mobilities. It can be found via the link below and we should be grateful if you could complete it on behalf of your authority; more than one submission from an individual authority is both permissible and welcome. Copies of the results will be forwarded to all authorities who complete the survey.
