JPI Media titles including the YEP throughout the country this month launched our Big Conversation survey.

It was set up to ask questions of readers to find out what has changed since the national coronavirus lockdown in March - and what the new society which emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic should look like to benefit us all.

The survey looks at the impact of the pandemic on the economy and your spending habits as well as shining a light on healthcare provision in our communities.

It is also asking what we have learned from the past six months and if you have maintained that community spirit since.

We hope it will lead to changes in the way we live and work.

Now we are asking you to help us take the temperature of the nation following lockdown, through our snapshot survey the Big Conversation.

Questions range from what is important to you in light of lockdown, to gauging public confidence as we emerge.

Many of us are still working from home and we are all wearing face masks to do our shopping and travel on public transport.

We've also learned a whole new vocabulary of words, from the R number to furlough.

Those months when we could only leave the home for essential tasks were tough - but they also meant that we got to know our neighbours and began to appreciate the freedoms we had lost.

We would ask you to join in the Big Conversation with us online at www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk.

And if you would like to send us your thoughts on lockdown life and beyond, send an email, marked The Big Conversation to [email protected].

Let's work together to try to ensure that the lessons we learned and the community spirit we enjoyed earlier this year can become a part of all our lives in the future.
