Question 1. What do think is good about the area?
Good – the great sense of community. Broomfield park is lovely
Question 2. What do you think is less good about the area?
Less good – the high street is a bit shabby
Question 3. What would you like to see to improve the area?
Improve – the high street and in particular the retail mix. Also a clean up of the pigeon mess outside the empty shop opposite video shop. This must constitute a health hazard if nothing else.
Question 4a. Specific aspects – traffic
Traffic – lots of cars jump the traffic lights especially near the video shop. Can cameras be brought in as a deterrent?
Question 4b. Specific aspects – parking
Parking- too expensive and not enough spaces
Question 4c. Specific aspects – clutter
Clutter –not an issue
Question 4d. Specific aspects – look of the shops/architecture
Look of shops – mixed: some shop fronts / signs not very attractive but it may be too expensive for the independent shop owners to replace. Maybe a loan / bus. Rate discount could be given to those who improve ?? appearance
Question 4e. Specific aspacts – type and range of shops
Question 4f. Specific aspects – amount and use of pavement space
Pavement – not really an issue
Question 4g. Specific aspects – the Triangle public space
Triangle – needs some sort of feature. Maybe a memorial?
Question 4h. Specific aspects – Greenery
Greenery – there aren’t any on the high street. Flower planters would be agood improvement.
Any other comments
