CONSULTATION STARTS HERE - THE REPORT, THE RESULTS



CHAPTER 7 - THE MUSEUM AREA

7.1

The responses to questions about the Museum Area showed strong support for the park history option. In fact, the 75% of respondents who answered YES to that question represented the second highest positive answer to the questionnaire (see Table 3). A graphical illustration of the answers can be seen in Figure 13.

Figure 13 : Museum Area, all respondents

7.2

The respondents showed a clear tolerance for the use of the Museum Area for community or arts/cultural buildings, 63% and 62% respectively scoring YES to those questions. These may be contrasted with only 37% and 41% respectively scoring yes to those answers for the Top Site 26. This probably reflects the already developed nature of the Museum Area, contrasting with the open character of the Top Site.

7.3

When satisfaction ratings are compared, the clearest picture emerges: see Figure 14 below.

7.4

The park history option enjoys a 68% satisfaction rating, as against 49% for community buildings and 45% for arts/cultural buildings. This strongly suggests that the community's overriding objective is to see the museum continued and probably strengthened.

Regional Variations

7.5

We have tested whether there is any disparity in the views about the Museum Area held by those living in the inner and outer zones (see Table 3, Table 15, Table 16). The results are shown in Figure 15.

7.6

Once again, the results demonstrate a very close correlation between the views held by those in the inner and outer zones, with the clear support for the park history option being evident amongst both groups.
