Survey results

We created two surveys for people who live in or around Baldock on survey monkey one for all ages and one specifically for our target audience, teenagers. we asked several different questions to determine how satisfied people and in particular teens are with the community areas around Baldock, we did this so we could learn what appeals to our target audience and discover issues in the local community which teenagers want to be addressed. 

Results 

we both put links on our Facebook accounts because this is a site that is statistically proven to use the most, we did this so we could as helpful and useful results as possible.

A majority of the teenagers we asked were between the age of 13 and 16 we had slightly more women answer than men but there were still plenty of men who answered our survey. 

The first question was "where do you like to spend your free time in Baldock" we asked this to see where teenagers spend their free time and to see if Baldock had suitable areas for teenager to spend their time. the most popular answer was Avenue Park, which is also a popular answer for areas to be renovated or added to. Other popular answers were Tesco, Costa coffee and Ivel springs, this shows our audience is interested in protecting green space. This clearly shows that teenagers don't have a particular community area to spent their time like most other age groups.

The next question was if they were satisfied with their community areas in Baldock 66.6%  of people said no, we had comments like 'boring' and 'too babyish'
Other things people said they would like to be added to Baldock were:

• "Have more shops"
• "More hidden benches/ tables etc to hang out at"
• "Skate park"
• "A swimming pool or cinema"
• "More concerts, closer places to go, and in general something to actually do in Baldock"
• "A skate park"
• "Cleaner pathways"
• "Cinema"

Our last question was "which community area in Baldock do you think could be regenerated for another use?" The answers show that people want the town hall and avenue park to be regenerated for a new use. They want them to be refurbished into a more family friendly areas or areas for teenagers to hang out.
