The video and photo outputs and emotive response maps representing the various participants who helped with the emotisurvey in Malvern are now all working on a test website. The site is presently going through 'beta tests' and checks before it is made visible to the public.
Once these checks are completed the site will be scrutinised by members of the Route to the Hills project group and Malvern Hills District Council's officers. Once this process is completed, we hope to open-up the site and make it visible to the public in Malvern for their further feed-in and comments. These references will then go towards the Route to the Hills project's findings and conclusions and will hopefully help both them and Malvern Hills District Council evolve the public space in the town. This will include looking at the effectiveness of the existing wayfinding signage, public furniture, paths and pavements.
I'm really pleased to add that the riverside area in the centre of Worcester has now been hugely improved in terms of lighting, pavements, new public seating, tree plantings and signage to name but some aspects. The earlier incarnation of the emotisurvey project (then called Riverside Emotimap) helped feed in to these improvements and also helped Worcester City Council win the "2010 MJ Achievement Award for “Sustainable Infrastructure Achievement of the Year” as part of it's successful bid. The project also formed a part of the City Council's successful bid for National Lottery monies to help improve the area and build the new Diglis footbridge over the river.
Can I just say a big "thanks" once more to all who helped take part and Manda Graham, Malvern Hills' Community Development Officer for bearing with me while I took time putting the site together.
