Yesterday we popped down to Ventnor town to try and get a sample of how people feel about the Mill Bay – and the news that broke that morning that the planning officer had recommended that the Mill Bay plans go ahead.
Recordings like this are called Vox Pops in the trade. Means nothing more than The Voice of the People (Latin innit). You ask a question, someone tells you how they feel about it.
The responses were mixed with a couple of people supporting the Mill Bay plans.
Here’s the setup and the first person we spoke to about it.
