serious shopping, then generally only a couple of times a month. I like to
invite my gal pals, make a day of it, you know.
Man:
So, thinking about the city centre, what changes have you noticed recently?
Woman:
Well, quite a few actually. The council have obviously spent quite a bit in
recent years to make it more modern, and I like how they’ve added some
new areas. I especially like that food street with lots of trendy places to eat
and coffee bars, that’s always full of people. Of course, there’s still that link
to the old days with the cinema and the big department store. Oh, and I’m
also pleased they’ve got rid of that old amusement arcade as well.
Man:
Anything else?
Woman:
Yes, well obviously I’m a mother, so I’m really happy that there’s more
places for my little one nowadays. The main one that comes into my mind is
that new day centre for kids that has just opened up. It’s great, you can drop
your kid off while you go shopping and there’s so much for them to do. Oh,
and I love that little garden behind the library as well, I think it’s something
the council have been working on for a while now and now it’s finished we
finally have the chance to use it. I think it’s a lovely place to escape from the
hustle and bustle of a busy city.
Man:
Great… um I don’t want to take up much more of your time, so just quickly,
what problems do you see in the city centre and what should be done about
them?
Woman:
Ha, that’s a good question! Let me see…well, there are quite a few boy
racers who drive really quickly. There are lots of traffic lights but they don’t
seem to slow them down so I think more speed cameras would be more
effective.
