Key question

Method Description

Importance of Data

Problems / Limitations

Possible developme

ntAre there enough services to meet the needs of new residents?

Questionnaire

An area of Commercial Road was chosen (see map 3) within the CBD. We randomly approached people to answer the questionnaire. We asked 50 people

• Important to identify which services residents value and access most often.• This data will be combined with the Services Map (Map 3) to evaluate whether there are enough services

• Sample is quite small considering the total footfall in Commercial Road. Will have to be corroborated by secondary data.• The total amount of people in Commercial Road seemed low.• There was only a 50% success rate in asking the questionnaire

• A larger sample would allow better conclusions to be made.•Collect data on different days of the week to give a clearer picture.• Cut down the number and complexity of questions to improve the success rate.

Taken from Introduction
