Ican't think that anyone could ever seriously believe that the planners for the new Theatre are local. They probably havent seen the place except on paper. Out of towners -thats what they are. Here to dabble for a few years , and then move on to mess up somewhere else.
(No-one would guess that I've had few spats with these 'planners' over the years would they?) I quietly simmer nowadays-----mostly.

how about this;
A friend of mine -a gps land surveyer---was asked to survey the site of a proposed new out of town shopping mall-hundreds of acres. He travelled 200 or so miles to the site and found it was mainly lakeland. , no-one had actually been to see this site.
There are so many armchair planners around these days. That is possibly the reason why so many towns look the same-- they duplicate a rubberstamp of an area they once did.! Well it's a good theory.
I think the ones who 'design ' Coventry live in Peru or -looking at it Russia.
