Tutorial on Maps and Journey by Kathleen Rodgers

Joel Foster

Tutorial with Kathleen Rodgers 9^th October 2014 For Maps & Journeys project

I told Kathleen my idea about locating to a new town – route – paths – maps.

Nature leaving a mark on us??

Town Planning exercise – permissions??

Kathleen suggested I look at perhaps a Live Issue – a community group against building of new housing??

Maybe approach the local planning department??

Friends of Farnham Park perhaps they have such a group??

Maybe interview people doing good in the area??  Social enterprise??  Gardens & Allotments??

Foodbanks?? Jeanne said local church distribute food to those in need United Reformed Church next door to university.

Laura said Bourne Woods and the over filming and the damage filmmakers do to the woods, to the trees and plants…?

Dutch Elm Disease?

False Widow Spiders in uni Halls??

Kathleen said “You need an Issue!”

One idea I considered was to look in the local paper to find a current issue taking place in the area. One story I came across was about a local resident, a gentleman who wrote to the local paper how he was opposed to the concreting of the Hopfields  as it would be a  irrecoverable loss of an area of high amenity and environmental value.
