REBRANDING: Dunster

Retailer Diversity: Most of the services are either public service facilities or local product stores with very few cafes and chain stores.

Place Check: Had a historical feel to it with cobbled pavements and traditional architecture that was peaceful and tranquil. However there wasnt enough parking for the cars so they often parked on the road and there werent pavements provided everywhere which could be a saftely problem.

EQA: 18/40

Non-Participant Observation: Not many people around at all but those who were, were mainly middle aged to retired people around wearing pratical clothing. One women wasnt very friendly to her customers which reflects badly off the area

REBRANDING: Watchet

Retail Diversity: The most frequent services we saw were local stores and pubs with no clothing stores at all and very few chain stores.

Place Check: Near the harbour there was a very pleasing view with flowers and trees around its perimeter with historic statues and traditional houses. However there was a lot of litter and traffic around the roads.

EQA: 24/40

Non-Particpant Observation: Everyone we saw was 65 or over who were all very friendly and talkative and were enthusatic about sharing their knowledge of their village. All the locals knew each other and were more than happy to interact with us. No one stood out everyone on the same page.
