That should be interesting, who and how much money has been made out of that site

I don't know much about the consultation other than I was contacted by the architects who wanted to hire a room.

As far as I know the architects are based in Birmingham and are called M.E. Architects. The company that bought the land has three other care homes - in Rochdale, Bolton and Colne (from memory so not 100% sure I've got the locations right).

The consultation is 1st August, 6pm to 8pm.

On the one hand I think it will be a massive improvement on a blot on the landscape and will give a little boost to some shops around it as presumably there will be visitors coming and going. My only concern I guess, is where the car park entrance will be as it can't come out onto Union Rd because of the bus stop and traffic, if it was on Lord St it would seriously reduce the Civic's limited parking, Sun Street residents would probably complain if it was there and Haworth St already has congestion because of the school and health clinic.

I can't see it being refused permission though as it was a care home ten years ago.

PS - it's at the Civic Arts Centre - I hate to keep pointing this out but the Town Hall doesn't exist anymore.

The old entrance was on Haworth street and is still there so that would be the obvious place for it. On Sun Street opposite Lock Street would also be ok.

they may not build it in the old shape though Neil, my mum and dad worked there when i was little, we lived in one of the houses attached to the home, it all depends on which way round they build it

Consultation tomorrow about the spare land next to the Civic. Call in tomorrow at 5.30pm to see the plans.

There is a picture in the boards outside the Civic. The layout is different but the car entrance is in the same place.
