Also I cannot believe that anyone is going to be thrilled at the idea of the unique circular market being moved, after all the hype this week of it's 50 successfull years.
Also the mess of new build will last for ever. By the time it is finished in a good few years time people will have gone elsewhere-who wants to shop forever in a building site--and our grand new centre will be empty again.
Did I miss a concert hall or civic centre on the new plan?
perhaps I need to look again.
I like the idea of opening up the river and making the town more attractive
but I can't see that although 'they' asked the people of Coventry what they wanted--that [I]this[/is exactly it.
ps I have looked at the plans and still can't find anything resembling a civic centre or concert hall which is deperately needed, so we shall all have to go to other cities or-- even Bedworth Civic Hall to see a big show.
