An online survey should be used to gather data, as this is the mode that has been used in previous OLS projects. Sussex Bay encompasses three local authority areas - West Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and East Sussex County Council. We are ideally looking for a socio-demographically representative sample of c. 2000 people who live in Sussex, including spatially, as we are particularly interested in analysis between coastal and inland and rural/urban areas. If this is not feasible, contractors should state what they feel able to provide in terms of sample size for this area (aiming for results with 95% confidence levels and less than 5% margin of error). Task 2: Undertake the survey - with adults only. Task 3: Analyse the survey results and present in a report similar to the headline reports provided for the national study. This should include descriptive statistics with comparisons between coastal towns and those inland and ideally between the three different local authorities. A draft report is required two weeks before the final report deadline.
