The Past Week

Following our consultation weekend in Scarborough, last weekend, we have been working hard to put together a competition brief worthy of international promotion.  This week we have not had a visual public presence [no green balloons this week], but serious advances have been made in producing the competition brief, organising a design charette for the 31st Oct, developing a website and a research document.

Sunday - Dean Road

Further consultation took place on Dean Road during Sunday, to take on further comments and concerns from passers-by.

The Green Route Walk

The Green Route Walk set off from Scarborough Town Hall at 12noon.  The purpose of the walk was to encourage informal discussion about the Dean Road site and Scarborough's future vision.  The walk demonstrated the links that exist out to the west and the potential circular walk through Peasholm Park back to the Sea Front.

Sunday - Preparing the Green Route

Early sunday morning consisted of blowing up balloons, the rest was spent decorating a route through Scarborough to denote a Green Route from the Town Hall out and past the Dean Road site.  This involved covering lamposts and railings with posters, tags, arrows and balloons.

Saturday - Dean Road

A drop-in consultation station was set up on the Dean Road site with 'What if...' images showing potential uses for the site, passers-by were also asked to choose from a mixture of images, possible features or uses for the site which they would like to see.  All were encouraged to comment on the site and pass on their ideas and aspirations.

Saturday - Sand Side

The temporary event set up on Sand Side enabled a good engagement with both tourists and locals.  Passers-by were asked to show 'where they had been' and 'where they were going' using coloured ribbon on a large Scarborough map.  The exercise demonstrated how areas are under used or unknown.

Several tourists said they did not realise Scarborough was so big.
