Drone research project seeking views of local authorities, online survey

I am a Lecturer and drone researcher from the University of Reading. I’m leading a research project, 'diversifying drone stories', exploring how drones are impacting UK airspace. The project engages with a range of stakeholders (emergency services, industry, lawyers, hobbyists, pilots, general public) and is eager to hear from members of UK local authorities too. You’re invited to share your views on: drone benefits and opportunities, drone risks and concerns, the role of local authorities, UK drone regulation, and future airspace. No experience with/ flying drones is necessary.

If you’re interested in taking part in / learning more, links to the online survey and project website are below. Thanks everyone!
