Kerry and Sophia from our team have been out interviewing at Dukes Drives, Salford’s newest country park. Recently we had a stall at the Escape to the City event, now we’re busy speaking to people about what they’d like to see in the area.
On Saturday three of the Pathways team – Becca, Kerry and Steve – spent the day in Salford at the ‘Escape from the City’ event with our
consultation stall for the work we are doing on Dukes Drive Country Park.
They had a fantastic spot amongst the trees with a great view of the stage and interviewed over 60 people throughout the day. The event organisers were so friendly and helpful, providing them with a table and chairs and even assisting them with their bunting arranging!
They brought along some colourful flyers about the plans to turn the greenspace into a great Country Park, and of course our scarecrow Sam and some chocolates to thank the people who stopped to chat to us.
The sun had his hat on all day and they had lots of fun listening to the music, munching on chocolate and talking to people about what they would like to see in the area. A great day had by all!
We are doing a lovely piece of consultation and market research on the Irwell Sculpture Trail.
Soon to be relaunched, the Sculpture Trail runs from Salford Quays up to Bacup – approximately 30 miles along the River Irwell dotted with sculptures.
For our first day we were set up outside Salford Museum and Art Gallery on an incredibly hot day. Our stall, which has been lovingly designed for this piece of consultation, features bunting, pots of spring flowers, and a map of the trail.
We also set up an Easter kids activity on some picnic blankets – making Easter nests from hay and filled with chocolate eggs and a yellow chick.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be out at various locations along the Sculpture Trail to speak to people about the sculptures and find out how people find out about places – especially whether people like the idea of new technologies such as downloadable audio tours and QR codes.
