I agree that there has never been an argument about the NEED for regeneration but what I'm asking you to do is look at the discussions from an outsiders perspective and it does seem negative. For instance - we agree that Broadway needs rejuvenating but everyone (including myself) is continually having a go at the way it's being done. Add that to the negativity about the Panopticon project and the discussions about project phoenix and you can see how people may get the wrong impression.

Now I can see that it's not the same people arguing against all of the projects but taking things as a whole there does give the appearance of a resistence to change and to regeneration.
