We still want to get more involved in the forum, a feeling shared by most of the people we met but our main goal will be to focus on how to make this forum progress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This idea is divided in two points : <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, we need to improve the visibility of the forum, especially on the website which is not very visible. But also help cycling to get a better recognition in the city.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secondly, \u00a0to make access to the feedback easier for all the people who attend the forum and also easier to publish it, after Heather has taken the minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, we find it useful to improve interactions between the council and the forum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Products\/services\/devices that serve as inspiration for our project<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Mobile Phone:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We chose this piece of technology as it can be accessed by a wide range of individuals due to the popularity of smartphones and the fact that individuals can access information anywhere anytime. In our project it is important that we have a system that can communicate information clearly and can be accessed by a wide demographic of individuals in the forum, we think a mobile phone could meet this criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Computer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We chose this device as it is one of the most effective ways of communicating information between individuals however this device is more accessible by the older generation. This is important as a large portion of the cycle stakeholder forum are of the older generation that might have more access to computers than mobile phones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Email:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Email was recommended to us as a good transfer and display of information by Mark Nelson as a way to communicate the time of meetings and also to supply the meeting notes to a group of individuals. Email newsletters are also simple to setup and use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Website: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A website is an accessible way to present and relay information. They can also be interactive which is important for the cycle stakeholder forum as we need a system in which people can communicate their opinions on different cycle routes around Newcastle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the first meeting with Rob Snowball, we established some specific goals that we reached after interviewing our stakeholders, Rob Snowball, Heather Evans, Rorie Parsons and Mark Nelson.
