So next on the agenda is 'Proposals for improvements to therecreation ground'.Councillor
Thornton again.
Well,since we managed to extend the recreation ground,we'vespent some time talking to
local people about how it could be made amore attractive and useful [Link] you have a look at
the map up onthe screen,you can see the river up in the north,and the Community Hall near the
entrance from the road. At present,cars can parkbetween the Community Hall and that line of
trees to the east,butthis is quite dangerous for pedestrians so .
We also have a new location for the cricket pitch. As we've nowpurchased additional space to
,we plan to move it away from its current location,which is rather near the road,into this new
area beyond the line [Link] means there's less danger of stray balls hitting cars or
pedestrians.
We've got plans for a which will be accessibleby a footpath from
the [Link]'d originally thought of having it close to the road,but wethink this will be a more
attractive location.
The skateboard ramp is very popular with both younger and older children -we had
considered moving this up towards the river, but in the end we decided to have it in the
. The pavilion is very well used at present by both football players and cricketers. It will stay
where it is now-
and near to -handy for both the football and cricket [Link] finally,we'll be getting a
new notice board for local information,and that will be directly on as they go
from .
C16T1S2:
OK,now I'll briefly help you to orientate yourselves around the site.
As you can see,we're in the reception area, which we try to make attractive and welcoming
to visitors. There's a corridor running from here, and if you go along that,
the coffee [Link] looks out onto the main road on one side,and some treeson the other,and
that'll be where you meet each morning.
The factory is the very big room on the far side of the [Link] to it is the warehouse,which
can be accessed by lorries . You can get tothe warehouse by
,and then the door is .
Somewhere you'll be keen to find is the staff canteen. This is right next to reception.I can
confidently say that the food's very good, but the view isn'[Link] windows on look onto a
corridor and courtyard, which aren't very attractive at all, and on , which
isn't much better.
You'll be using the meeting room quite often,and you'll find it by walking along the corridor
to , and . The meeting room is the last one , and I'm afraid
there's no natural daylight in the room.
Then you'l need to know where some of the offices [Link] human resources department is
at the front of this building, so you , and it's the you come [Link] looks out
onto the main road.
And finally,the boardroom,where you'll be meeting [Link] has quite a pleasant
view,as it looks out on to the [Link] along the corridor ,
right to the [Link] boardroom is the factory.
OK,now are there any questions before we …
C11T2S2:
Now,a word about the layout of the [Link] auditorium,stage and dressing rooms
forthe actors are all below ground [Link] on the ground floor we have most of the roomsthat
the public doesn't [Link] majority are internal,so they have windows in the roof to lightthem.
Standing here in the foyer,you're probably wondering why the box office isn't here,where
thepublic would expect to find [Link],you might have noticed it on your way in-although
.
For the theatre manager's office,you the foyer and
the double doors, , and it's the room the [Link] the door .
The lighting box is where the computerised stage lightinq is operated, and it's at the
. When you're at the water cooler and at the end. It's the along
that [Link] lighting box has a window into the auditorium,which of course is below us.
The artistic director's office is through , . and it's the first room you come to on
. And finally,for the moment,the room where I'll take you next-the relaxation [Link] if you'd like
to come with me …
C11T4S2:
OK,that was something about the collections,and now here's some more practical
information,in case you need it. Most of the museum facilities are downstairs,in the basement,so
you go down the stairs [Link] you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'llfind yourself in a
sitting area,with comfortable chairs and sofas where you can have a restbefore continuing your
exploration of the museum.
We have a very good restaurant,which serves excellent food all day,in a relaxing
[Link] reach it,when you get to the bottom of the stairs,qo straight ahead to the far side
of the sitting area,then turn right into the [Link]'ll see the door of the restaurant facing you.
If you just want a snack,or if you'd like to eat somewhere with facilities for children,we also
have a [Link] you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'll need to qo straight ahead,turn right
into the corridor and the cafe is immediately on the right.
And talking about children,there are baby-changing facilities downstairs; cross the sitting
area,continue straight ahead along the corridor on the left,and you and your baby will find the
facilities on the left-hand side.
The cloakroom,where you should leave coats, umbrellas and any large baqs,is on the
lefthand side of the sitting [Link]'s through the last door before you come to the corridor.
There are toilets on every floor,but in the basement they're the first rooms on the left
whenyou get down there.
OK,now if you ve got anything to leave in the cloakroom,please do that now,and then we'll
start our tour.
