Does traffic affect quality of life in Tower Hamlets?

That's what I'm investigating for my Geography coursework. A group of us took to the streets of Tower Hamlets to fill out questionnaires and surveys.

We were now down Globe Road and I had 5 questionnaires to get filled out. Previous streets such as Bethnal Green Road and Grove Road left me with a few nasty words thrown at me and a woman nearlly getting run over to escape me. I did have a shower last night so I didn't smell. Must of been my ginger hair.

Old lady. There was an old lady across the street. Old ladies love to rant. I'll ask the old lady. I love old ladies when filling in questionnaires. Not that I spend my entire weekends speaking to old ladies. Well, this old lady was happy to talk to me...and she did rant. She ranted and ranted for 10 minutes. Then her neighbour came out, I asked her the same questions, she didn't agree with the previous old lady. So they began to argue. It was now 15 minutes and the group was just jumping on a bus. I had to leave the 2 old ladies ranting on the street together. Well, atleast they are socilizing! The first old lady ws my faviroute!

lol thats so funny! i love little old ladies, wish i was there to see that lol

and yes i do think it effects the quality of life in tower hamlets as traffic lets off green house gases which effects the air we inhale as it gives air pollution. Traffic also gives noise pollution. you could also argue that green spaces may need to be demolished to make way for car facilities such as car parks.
