Blackburn also has the added bonus of having nice surroundings round there, rather than a bunch of chain stores.. |
It isn't about cost. It is about having the vision to carry out a programme of good, and innovative design, and I suppose having the knowledge in the first place, to tell the differences between good versus bad design.
The near half a million pounds spent on refurbishing Broadway, is nothing less than disgraceful.
A mish mash of competing tar-mac, a few backless benches, which retain water on their seats hours after it last rained, a couple of fret worked fixed steel gates, leading God knows where, and which can only be viewed properly if you stand in the doorway of the pound shop, and a few young Oak trees supported by Ten Ton Tessy's callipers.
Well designed, and visionary, it ain't, whatever the cost.
