Should you open a Turkish restaurant in Hart?

The council currently has 3 Turkish restaurants against an estimated 1,332 monthly searches for Turkish food, which works out to roughly 16,568 residents for every Turkish restaurant already trading here. The single biggest factor behind that number is local search interest per restaurant, which ranks higher here than in most other councils in England and Wales.
