When the council are planning these improvements I really do wish they would spend the money as if it were coming out of their own back pocket instead of what I sometimes think they think is a bottomless purse.
The Broadway 'improvements', or as I call them, a couple of stupid brushed steel non-gates, and a few badly designed hemroid inducing benches, 'only' cost half a million pounds.
