7x Participants Surveyed to Date

Participant Peter

We're well underway with surveying the various participants to date and have heard some really interesting perspectives on the same route from people of all different perspectives and backgrounds. In particular the perspectives we've had to date have included: Malvern's history/architectural/arboreal history, effectiveness of the existing public realm from senior MHDC staff's perspective, the perspective bearing in mind people with various disabilities and a child's perspective on the route when walking with a parent. All very, very different and all picked-up and highlighted a wide range of unforseen aspects of the same walk. Genuinely fascinating to hear and many, many thanks again to those who have given their time to help us.

Thanks again
Thanks again to Manda Graham RTTH Project Manager for her continued patience and to University of Worcester design student Dom Gambetta who is presently starting to look at possible methods of putting these experiences across to the RTTH project steering group/Malvern Hills DC.

Emotisurvey Participants Underway..

A participant from Transition Malvern en route.

 We'll be surveying a range of participants over the next few weeks. To date we've had perspectives given from local Malvern Hills Council Economic Development staff, Malvern residents, representatives of Transition Malvern [looking at the sustainability angle] and also historical and architectural. It's been fascinating to hear all of the different perspectives already and we're only part way through working with participants. 

In addition we'd like to welcome Digital Arts student Dom Gambetta to the team. Dom's undertaking a negociated study at the University and helping to further getting the eventual outputs into an interactive interface that can be used by the Route to the Hills Project.

In addition, to quickly thank Malvern Hills Council staff for all the help they've already been in sourcing the various participants. Special thanks go to Manda Graham - Route to the Hills Project Co-ordinator for putting up with all the challenges to date and being flexible with us..
