Hi,
I am currently writing my dissertation for a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning. I am trying to find out if Poundbury has developed into a truly sustainable community.
I will be visiting the area at the end of this month and I would really like to talk to/interview some residents to find out their opinions. If anyone could help and would be willing to talk to me, either in person, as part of a group, by email or over the phone I would be extremely grateful. Please let me know and I will contact you to make further arrangements. I am looking to talk to residents of all ages.
Alternatively if anyone has any comments/opinions on any of the following issues please post your responses. Any information used in the dissertation will be kept anonymous and usernames etc will not be reported.
1. Is Poundbury a place with a positive feeling and local distinctiveness?
2. Are the public and green spaces user friendly with facilities for the whole community?
3. Is there a sufficient range of housing including affordability?
4. Do you think the size, scale, density, design and layout of Poundbury is appropriate and complements the local character of the area?
5. Do you feel safe in Poundbury and if so do you think this is the result of the way the buildings and public spaces are designed?
6. Is there good access to jobs, key services and facilities by public transport?
7. Is the transport facilities (including public transport) sufficient in the area to help you travel within and between communities?
8. Do you think Poundbury encourages safe local walking and cycling?
9. Is there an appropriate level of parking facilities?
10. Is there widely available and effective telecommunications and Internet access?
Thanks
Sarah
