I had a good look this afternoon and I must admit that I think they would be better off bringing the thing down and starting again. There’s not a lot that’s really going to work without massive expenditure.

I good clean with a pressure hose would go along way to resolving some of the building image problems, but that would only be short term and cosmetic.

Without going to the massive expense of demolition, a lick of sand coloured paint on the breeze blocks underneath the panels would suffice.

Cosmetic yes, but cheap and effective.

Are you saying that the rest of Broadway is cheap and effective?
Can you imagine what it would look like if they did it in the same colour as the planters….yuk? It’ll be going from bad to worse, like a great wall of desiccated puke….

I think that an outer coating of render would resolve the issue for a few years but it would have to be good to hide some of the sins of that building.

Great pic A-b.

Although I've read most of your body of work, this was the week before I joined, and I somehow missed it.

Great minds, fools differ etc.

That's a cracking photoshop Acrylic.

HBC should take note.
