From what I can see they will only be adding to the recent development of Broadway, and as it is a 15 year plan, think we may get our moneysworth out of it anyway.

I agree with you there. With my damaged knees though I can't get down on all fours so I had to do a bit of a contortionist trick bending double and looking up. Do you think I can sue them for the resulting pain in my back?

Will have a look tommorow myself, the online stuff was decent enought o look at, hoping they may have models. It is in the Town Hall isn't it ? ( I mean models of the proposals

)

i think the first thing they should do is take down that horrific rainbow effect window above the arndale entrance - it looks tacky and the only thing it is in keeping with is the pound shops i wouldnt even use it for a sick bucket - and what is happening with the plan to rebuild houses on lonsdale street i cant see that anywhere ???

That's because Lonsdale Street is not within the boundaries of the town centre plan Keetah.

On the prefered option the whole of the blue and white building, that is the Town Hall extention/parade of shops, would be demolished, as the new design sweeps out over Broadway.

So it would be bye bye to the brushed steel 'street furniture', new paving stones, and bum freezing benches.

katex - so do you know if there are plans anywhere to rebuild those houses - seems like another job that will be left half finished - hope these new plans dont go the same way

Don't understand why he should have a conflict of interest here; seemingly property depriciates in value if it is around a bus station.
