Hi Jenny, No, we are not anything to do with EastDAG. As mentioned earlier, we are a group of students who are currently attending University of the Arts London- more specifically, LCC campus at Elephant and Castle. We are just looking for input on what the public would like to see more or less of on North Cross Road, which in turn will help us design something that is inclusive of the whole community. We would just like to know if perhaps there needs to be more bike storage, or a covered area to sit etc etc, we are just looking for personal opinions from local residents that we could include in our design. This is not a commercial or funded project but a project that we will be assessed on at UAL. The point of this post is to gain user-research into what will be useful to everyone on North Cross Road. I hope this explanation clarifies the circumstance a little bit more. Thanks again, Grace

Hi Ruby, UAL stands for University of the Arts London, which is the university I am currently attending. The information we are collecting is purely to help with the choice of design and what would be seen as useful by the local public in the East Dulwich area. We are not storing contact information/email because we are only interested in what residents would like to see considered into the design. We are only designing a prototype as this is what our project requires, we would like to be open to suggestions as to what could benefit everyone in the area. I apologise if I was not clear enough on how we would be using the information. Please let me know if there are any other concerns and I will be happy to help. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Thanks again, Grace Duncan

Hello East Dulwich Residents, I am a student from UAL where myself and three other students are starting a new project called Kerbside Intervention. Kerbside Intervention is a physical design in a public space that promotes accessibility for commuters who are walking and cycling, this could be a covered area to sit, bike storage or perhaps a charging station for cellphones. The idea is to help with parking management and of course the overall safety of our commuters. Locally within the East Dulwich area, we have chosen North Cross Road specifically. Our kerbside/design area will be directly in front of St Clements Yard. We would love to hear your opinions on what you think would benefit the area. Here are some of our goals for this Kerbside Project: 1. Minimize Congestion & Disruption 2. Improve Safety for pedestrians and cyclists 3. Promote Health & Well-being 4. Parking Management The project aims to help with all of these central issues when looking at how we can make our Kerbside more accesible for pedestrians walking/cycling and to improve our overall commuting experience. A few things to think about: 1. What is your main concern when travelling on North Cross Road? 2. What would you like to see less of? Could be parked cars/ bikes/ etc 3. How easy is it for you to travel on this road? Do you drive? Walk? Cycle? Can you park your bike easily and efficiently? (would be interesting to hear personal opinions) 4. How would the community feel about charging station for cell phones and devices? 5. Should the design be child-friendly? 6. How important is it for there to be parking on this specific road? 7. We want to make this space accessible to everyone, therefore we are very open to hearing your ideas and concerns surrounding the project, so please do not hesitate to respond with strong ideas and feel free to contact me on here or privately for more information via email: [email protected]
