Hi, I'm Rebecca!

I'm a first year MArch student at Manchester School of Architecture and grew up in the countryside before moving to Leeds for my undergraduate degree. Living in Yorkshire created a great appreciation for walking and hiking, so I'm extremely excited to be working with Greater Manchester Ringway to encourage more people to walk the routes and get out into nature!

21/04/2026. We met as a group to finalise the engagement activity and the details surrounding the survey, flyer and outputs for the collaborator. The design direction for the benches was agreed and tasks distributed in the team.

28/04/2026. The plan for this meeting was to review our designs as a group for the five proposed bench types before adding these to the survey and conducting a final check of the survey and its questions, before meeting the collaborator.

Eddy from CPRE met with us to review the specific wording of different aspects of the survey and raised a few issues and suggestions he had which was extremely helpful!

30/04/2026. A productive Zoom meeting yesterday was conducted with Eddy from CPRE Lancashire after sharing the survey with him to distribute out in his organisation. I confirmed our next steps forward with the engagement event and answered any questions he had.

11/05/2026. We met up as a group this morning to finalise our route for distributing the flyers. We plan to conduct this engagement event to chat to the public about the GM Ringway and encourage as many survey responses as possible!
