Coventry City Council is hell bent on cloning this City. Why on earth 'they' cannot understand that Coventry is Coventry and never will be Birmingham.The people are what they are--middleimarket-- and shopping is not bad now. A lot of the centre needs tidying up still, but mostly from the mess made by the 'improvers'
We have a great new theatre --half finished, but it's getting there.
Question though--------can we get there?
[I[/i]The road system is shocking-roads blocked off or going nowhere.(And I wont mention that monstrous Ikea which caused a lot of it) .I hope they dont go ahead and demolish the best ring road ever. Imagine the chaos then.
We dont need the gigantic posh shops of bigger towns -(there are plenty 18 miles up the M6) just decent ones, and easy ways to reach them, and if the the cheaper shops like Primart and pound shops 'lower the tone' ,why are they so busy and heaving most of the time. It must be what folk want as they have to travel by bus or car to get to them
Most towns give people what they the planners want not what the people want
I know we need to plan our towns, but the way it is done angers most people.
I am a Coventry kid even tho' I live just north of it's border so I poke my nose into it's affairs frequently
Miranda -don't go because you have been offended. Get around that ,you appear to have a lot to offer.
