Day One: Research on the High street in Redruth

For the first day of research myself and Jo Flood visited Redruth Highstreet to get people's views about transport in Redruth and surrounding areas. Due to it being a (very) windy day we struggled to get people's attention despite our giant wooden board and the offer of Foxes Glacier mints for a few minutes of their time. Despite this a few braved the windy weather in true Cornish fashion to have a quick chat with us about their views on transportation. The majority of people were users of public transport and owned their own car. They agreed on the lack of car parks as well as the inconvience of buses. We didn't recieved many answers which we didn't expect and the majority considered how unreliable the buses were, as well as how timetables had to be planned round if public transport was being used. Nevertheless it was a good start to gain some insight into a select user group of people who at the time were shopping, going to the bank or post office or going to work.

On with day two where we interview the businesses along the A3047
