  15. STRATFORD-ON-AVON TOWN CENTRE RESEARCH Prepared for Nadhim Zahawi MP for Stratford-on-AvonOct 2010 PHASE 2 - The ‘elusive’ youth viewpoint

  16. Research was …. • Qualitative Research based on peer group discussions. • Centred on the data already derived, the point of the exercise was to find out more about the generally lower satisfaction levels of young people, compared with those of the rest of the population

  17. Summary of Youth Viewpoints • The majority of participants would leave Stratford before they were 20 and stated they were unlikely to return. • Others who lived in Stratford did not consider Stratford was a town where they could ‘make their mark’ • Those who lived and studied in Stratford professed a certain affection and pride about coming from a world famous town.

  18. Summary cont. • Satisfaction could be raised if for instance the night life could be improved, which was considered particularly ‘lame’, but most considered this to be unrealistic. • Summer days in Stratford were enjoyable using the facilities of the wide open spaces, but there was little to do in winter months – a ‘better’ cinema and better cafes might help

  19. In the main there was a acceptance that the town, as a heritage town attracting many tourists, ‘is what it is’ and it was unlikely to take further useful actions to address the needs and wishes of young people.

  20. Summary of phase 1 town centre survey • younger people gave lower scores to the leisure facilities than older people • Younger people rated the clothes shopping lower than those in the older age group
