    Hi, I am doing a geography research project for a level about the Finsbury Park redevelopment and wondered if you could answer some questions. It would be a great help if you could!

    2) how long have you been a resident?
    I am a previous resident I am not a resident 0-5 years 5-10 years 10-15 years 15 years or more

    3) If not, what would you say you use the area for (name all that apply)
    Transport Work Shopping Culture Sport Outdoor activities Other

    In your opinion, what word or phrase best describes Finsbury park?

    How could Finsbury park be improved?
    Better infrastructure More efficient tube station More shops/ leisure activities Other (please say)

    What would you say is the best feature of Finsbury park?

    Do you feel safe in the area? (on a scale from 1 to 10)

    Do you feel the area is very polluted?
    Somewhat Yes No

    Do you feel the area is overcrowded?
    Somewhat Yes No

    How would you rate finsbury park overall (1 to 10)

    Hello! I teach at number of primary schools in the area through Arts First Islington CIC. So, that includes Pooles Park, Duncombe, Pakeman in the very close vicinity. Are you a music-maker of which sorts? :)

      Of the retired sort, Julia! I taught at Pooles Park, too, for 3 years, voluntarily. Recorder. Stopped Easter 2013. Did you know Mark Tinkler? I also accompanied for his PP Community Choir.

      Before that, recorder, singing, class music generally, at many primary schools in Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets. Now much involved with University of the 3rd Age, teaching and learning.

      What are your instruments? Tell us a bit more about your working life - if you have time!

      Mike.
