We returned to Gleadless Valley to check out the site for tomorrows engagement, flyer the housing blocks where we were on Sunday and the shops along Newfield Green Parade.
We split up and tackled the blocks…
with a smile…
and Hannah braved the betting shop…
Unfortunately the manager of the bakers was not too keen on the idea of us giving away free tea and biscuits tomorrow. He also pointed out that the site we are planning to use is private land. We consulted with our client, offered to buy biscuits from the baker concerned, and the engagement is still on for tomorrow.
Our plan for a 3D mock-up garage to engage members of the public in, has had to be adjusted after an unsuccessful practice run in the courtyard in the Crookesmoor building. We hadn’t take the force of the Sheffield wind into consideration, and after a few attempts and falling poles we decided it was too much of a risk to set up tomorrow. This was disappointing – but we decided it was more important to consult people safely than be constantly on ‘pole watch’ avoiding disaster.
So instead, we’re hoping to create a sense of enclosure with tables and the reams of green fabric we have… watch this space to see the results.
