Question 1. What do think is good about the area?
2 parks nearby. Not a lot of teenagers hanging around on the streets. New Waitrose and Baskervilles tea shop. Friendly local people.
Question 2. What do you think is less good about the area?
It looks dirty, lots of rubbish on streets and dog excrement. Speeding dangerous drivers. Shops on high street in the main part look shabby and cheap. Too many betting shops. Pubs are horrible. Restaurants are ok but not a lot of variety, most are greek or Italian
Question 3. What would you like to see to improve the area?
I would like to see traffic managed more effectively and speeding drivers fined. I would like the streets to be cleaner.
It would be great to have nicer shops in the area that are aimed at 30-50 year olds, nice clothes, childrens and adults, a deli, cafe that sells nice food/ice creams. Shops that encourage you in with young children, something crafty to take kids to.
Speed traps and humps on roads.
Question 4d. Specific aspects – look of the shops/architecture
Horrible in the main. Shabby looking. Charity shops can be made to look nice. Pound shops look terrible and the stuff in them is not that cheap.
Nicer frontage of shops
Question 4f. Specific aspects – amount and use of pavement space
Wider pavements. Seating outside for cafes.
