Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

I sort of answered that in post #17 A-B. But to reiterate - I like it and filled in my forms accordingly.

What I most like about it is that it isn't just a tweak here and a tweak there, it is a wholesale redevelopment of the whole town. I think it's been proven before (Broadway springs to mind) that when they tinker with things they go pearshaped.

By being bold and putting out a 15 year plan, I think it could work.

Also, it's good that they won't be able to deviate from it if it's accepted now. It is a vision and hopefully will be carried out.

There are a few things I'm still curious about but I'm sure we'll find out in the goodness of time. Where the money is coming from will be interesting and who the actual developers are - one thing I hope doesn't happen is that they take on the people who give them the lowest quote for everything - if this bold idea is to be effective it also has to have quality as ell.
