On Saturday 4th June, three Xpress workers travelled to a variety of different places across the borough of Lambeth
as a part of the Cross Borough Forum.

Our aim was to interview young people and get their views
about postcode boundaries, drawing on their own personal experiences and the experiences of those that they know.

We filmed people on the streets, in local parks, at bus stops and on buses. This filming session had a positive outcome, as we were able to interview 10 male/female young people who lived in or hung around
the borough of Lambeth. It was interesting to see how similar some of the responses were between the
young people, whereas others had totally opposite views.

An observation we made was that males and females definitely
had very different experiences in relation to postcode boundaries. The females we interviewed expressed less of a concern
on a personal basis and said they were not directly affected by this while all the young males interview said the opposite.

From the research gathered we are able to draw some interesting comparisons and conclusions. We’ll be carrying on with our filming in Bromley and Croydon so look out for us and follow our twits http://twitter.com/#!/CroydonXpress
