Drawing on what you have learned from the Making Social Lives DVD and Learning Companion 1, outline how some benefit and others lose on a street that you know.
Introduction
In light of the study materials used relating to City Road I am going to outline a few comparisons with a street that I know.
In particular I’m going to look at:
How the street is used depending on the time of day.

Station Road becomes bustling with people when the weekly market is held, like City Road it’s a way of life for people and they want to taste real food and support the local community, (‘The street’, 2009, scene 7).The market brings in a lot of money for locals e.g. people who produce their own cheese and bread to sell or local farmers selling fruit and vegetables. In recent years the market has got smaller due to recession.
How smaller shops cope when bigger stores move in?
The Forest Edge Tea Rooms is a traditional old style tea rooms with its home cooked meals cakes and pots of tea served in traditional cups and saucers.
This particular shop is designed to attract...
