During seminar two we got to meet Rob Snowball from the City Council who informed us about their work with the Cycle Stakeholder Forum. The forum’s role is to bring the people interested in cycling together to exchange information and ideas on how to improve the current cycling conditions in Newcastle. At the moment the forum\u2019s demographic consists mostly of the same people who\u2019s been in the forum from the beginning; people who already cycle and they are mostly elderly people or women and men in their 50\u2019s and older. There\u2019s a lack of younger people in the forum which he\u2019s hoping we could find a solution for; how can we get younger people and students involved in the forum? <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>It became clear that the main point of our project with the Cycle Stakeholder Forum is to find a solution on how to get more people involved in the subject. Right now are the city council only using their current email list of 200 people to get the discussed information about the forum out which means that the rest of the city’s people won\u2019t get the information and therefore they probably don\u2019t know about the forum\u2019s existence and that they have a chance to get their voice heard about this subject. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the discussion with Rob some questions about how the city council actually work with reaching out to different groups in the community came up and it became clear that they aren\u2019t really working on doing that at this point at all which is questionable since it\u2019s also clear that it\u2019s the variety of community groups they want to reach out to. So one big question is how to get the council to go from \u201cwishes\u201d to actually take action in this subject. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Together with Rob we came up with some project goals; both short term and long term. The short term goals are to talk to more stakeholders so we\u2019ll get a wider perspective on what they\u2019re expecting from the project. The stakeholders we\u2019ll talk to are currently in the forum with different roles; Heather who takes notes and minutes, Mark and Andrew who work in different communities in the city with for example questions about disability and also Rorie who\u2019s working at Newcastle University and has been involved in the forum as well. We want to hear what they think could be improved, maybe they have their own solutions or ideas on the problems which could help us with our final result. <\/span>
\n<\/span>The long term goal is to find a solution to the problem which basically means to get more people involved in the forum and also inform the community about the benefits from cycling.<\/span><\/p>\n
