We were visited by a Bradford councillor the other day who propositioned us with an idea to create a short video formed with Voxpops about Bradford and people's opinions.
He explained that he wanted us to ask the public about their aspirations for the future, record the audio and footage and then that evidence would be used for Bradford council to see if they could change Bradford and adapt it so that the public can benefit from that.
He named it 'The Big Plan', and told us that the council wanted the public's opinion to see how they could change and make these changes beneficial to the district.
As myself and Ruby have not yet started our filming and have completed our paperwork, we were allowed to go into the centre of Bradford yesterday to take notes and photographs of potential areas where we could be stationed to complete these Voxpops.
We found some great places such as outside Kirkgate Market, Centenary Square and the main shopping streets; Darley Street and Bank Street.
All of these places have a very diverse range of age groups, ethnic groups and genders.
There doesn't seem to be a strong sense of one area being better than the other or worse, or even an obvious change in age etc as Bradford is a very diverse city and this is shown in every part.
It will be different to see the diversity when we complete the Voxpops in our own areas as where i live, it is a predominantly white neighbourhood with a good mix of ages but mostly over 50s.
