2 PAUL: Because I never really knew whether I’d be needed or not. I’d thought it might be difficult physically,  but I was certainly fit enough…no, I wanted to do something that had more of a proper structure to it (Q3), I suppose, I get de-motivated otherwise. WOMAN: What do you think you learned from your experience? It must have been a great opportunity to examine community life. PAUL: Yes, but it was difficult at first to be accepted by the locals. It was a very remote village and some of them were reluctant to speak to me – although they were always interested in my clothes and how much I’d had to pay for them. WOMAN: Well, that’s understandable. PAUL: Yes, but things soon improved. What struck me was that when people became more comfortable with me and less suspicious (Q4), we really connected with each other in a meaningful way. WOMAN: You made good friends? PAUL: Yes, with two of the families in particular. WOMAN: Good. What about management. Did you have a project manager? PAUL: Yes and he gave me lots of advice and guidance. WOMAN: And was he good at managing too? PAUL: That’s wasn’t his strong point! I think he was often more interested in the academic side of things than filling reports. He was a bit of a dreamer. WOMAN: And did you have a contract? PAUL: I had to say for a minimum of three months. My parents were surprised when I asked to stay longer – six months in the end. I was so happy there. WOMAN: And did anything on the administration side of things surprise you? What was the food and lodging like? PAUL: Simple…but there was plenty to eat and I only paid seven dollars a day for that which was amazing really. And they gave me all the equipment I needed…even a laptop. (Q5) WOMAN: You didn’t expect that then? (Q5) PAUL: No. (Q5) WOMAN: Well, I’ll look forward to hearing more. PART 2.

Well, we now have the results of the survey carried out last month about traffic and road transport in the town. People were generally satisfied with the state of the roads. There were one or two complaints about potholes, which will be addressed, but a significant number of people complained about the increasing number of heavy vehicles using our local roads to avoid traffic elsewhere. We had expected more complaints from commuters about the reduction in the train service, but it does not seem to have affected people too much. The cycle path that runs alongside the river is very well used by both cyclists and pedestrians since the surface was improved last year, but overtaking can be a problem, so we are going to add a bit on the side to make it wider. At some stage, we would like to extend the path so that it goes all the way through the town, but that would not be happening in the immediate future. The plans to have a pedestrian crossing next to the post office have unfortunately had to be put on hold for the time being. We budgeted for this to be done this financial year, but then there were rumors that the post office was going to move, which would have meant there was not really a need for a crossing. Now they have confirmed that they are staying where they are, but the highways department has told us that it would be dangerous to have a pedestrian crossing where we had originally planned it, as there is a bend in the road there, so that will need some more thought. On Station Road, near the station and level crossing, drivers can face quite long waits if the level crossing is closed, and we have now got signs up requesting them not to leave their engines running at that time. This
4 means pedestrians waiting on the pavement to cross the railway line don't have to breathe in car fumes. We have had some problems with cyclists leaving their bikes chained to the railings outside the ticket office, but the station has agreed to provide bike racks there. PART 3.
