My News Story

Winterville 2014

Why have I chosen to do this?

• I have chosen to do events for my news story and the local event I have chosen is Winterville in Victoria Park. With Christmas on it's way, it is the perfect distraction for kids and families and get into the Christmas spirit.

• I have decided to pursue this story because I think people in Tower Hamlets need to have fun in their own home and as it is so local and is in the hub of the borough, the public can go and enjoy themselves at their own leisure.

• As it is only for a month, not including Christmas Day and Boxing day, people need to take good use of it.

What will I be doing?

• I will be going to interview people there who are embracing the fun and be asking questions about what they think of it.

• I'll also be asking if they think we need more local events like these as well as if they are enjoying themselves.

• I will be recording from the scene amongst the lively atmosphere

TravelIf I decide to go by car, the directions to get to Winterville couldn’t be any easier so I have no problem getting there.

However parking is an issue as many of the roads are going to be blocked off and belong to resident permit holders only therefore I am to take a car, parking will be very hard to find.

I am more likely to use public transport as a result of no parking. I have used TFL to plan my journey from my house to Victoria Park.

I will take the D7 bus from my nearest bus stop to Mile End Station. Then I’ll meet up with my friends and we will take either the 277 or 425 to Victoria Park.

Activities there

The places I will mainly be are the places highlighted in yellow.

From previous research I have found out that these are the places where most people that I want to interview will be, and where the most ‘fun’ is.
