You know how HBC insists on spending Zillions of quids of feasibility studies for even the tiniest of changes or proposals, and because of this it takes them forever to get round to doing anything. Well, I was being taken for a drag through town this morning by Acrylic-biff, as is his wont, when I looked at the HBC office building on Broadway and thought "Bl**dy Hell. What a mess!" So, Having the camera handy, I took a photograph (Motto here: be prepared). When I eventually got home I had a bit of a mess about with Photoshop and the results are below.

I wondered what could be done to brighten the place up and breathe a bit of elegance into the building. I envisage ripping the front of the building off and replacing it with sandstone cladding so that it matches the town hall next door. According to HBC they are looking to open a "one stop shop" for council services, well here it is! it could also house a Town Museum with connection to the Town Hall.

It took me about an hour. I didn't rush. I didn't need a vast office, or thirty years to think about it, nor did I take a vast salary.

It isn't perfect, it wasn't meant to be. But please feel free to tell me what you think.
