Burnie Brae Seniors Community Centre Walkability and Access Audit: Will the Our Voice Citizen Science Framework Work?
Project Date: 2018 - Present
I see this approach as an interesting way to voice the opinions of the public who use Burnie Brae; I think we should prioritise issues and meet with the local councillor. In the meantime I will meet with the Citizen Scientist Advocates and we can make a ‘can do straight away’ list and a ‘longer term problem’ list.
