More than two years on, and little, if any, worthwhile research has been conducted into the aftermath of the riots.

Until now.

Georgie Wills, an under-graduate at Durham University, is conducting a survey as part of her degree’s dissertation.

Inside Croydon is assisting Wills, and is asking our loyal reader to complete an online questionnaire.

There are two forms of the questionnaire: one for residents, the other for those who run – or ran – a business.

• The resident questionnaire takes less than five minutes to complete, and can be accessed by clicking here.
• The questionnaire for businesses can be completed just as readily, and can be accessed by clicking here.

Both questionnaires are utterly confidential and you may remain anonymous.
