Supporting your research
If you're a researcher or student who is looking for economic data then we may be able to provide anonymised economic data. We can help you to identify and access documents relating to our decisions to undertake regeneration, but not any data which pertains to commercial aspects other than in the most general sense. We can also help you to identify and access documents relating to our land ownership.
We'll generally be happy to complete short questionnaires to support relevant research or study.
