Data description (abstract)
These data provide transcripts of recordings of three community workshops in Crediton, Devon, UK. Each workshop was attended by a range of local residents, agency representatives and those from locally accountable democratic bodies. The workshops aimed to explore the experience of participants of flood events, how flooding has changed in Crediton through time, the likely causes of flooding, how such causes may change in the future, and the potential for the town and surrounding area to become more resilient to flooding in the light of anthropogenic climate change.

Participants for the workshops were recruitment with the help of a third party organisation in Crediton. Each potential participant received a letter of invitation, outlining the role and purpose of the research and workshop sessions. If the invitation was accepted, each participant received an information sheet and, at the first workshop meeting, a written consent form for them to sign. Workshop sessions were facilitated by the principal investigator and were discursive and inter-active in nature, exploring the themes of flood histories, experiences, causes and future resilience. |
