I think that litter free streets would be a nice start.........buildings without graffiti...........a little bit of civic pride. Substance instead of airy fairy ideas.
The renovation of the awful 1960s blue building at the bottom end of Broadway...or better still, knock it down and start again.
Fill the empty shops....surely it has to be better to get some revenue than let them stand empty and have visitors think that the town is dead on its feet.....same with the market stalls........rent them out at lower costs to make the market more interesting.

What is the Astronaut?

The Astronaut was a public house in Union St. The weird shaped toilets were across the road from this drinking venue.

Funny cos I asked this months ago, Ideas to inspire the world, and got not one idea. Coventry got over 100 different ideas. from litter to the damn right outragous. Three decent answers MP, maxwell silver and rindy.
I still wait with anticipation...

I think the market is in it's death throes.

What was once a thriving market, with a good indoor and covered outdoor market, is now just a joke, with fewer as well as empty stalls.

Think of all the specialist stalls, such as the three tripe/black pudding stalls etc., that have decamped to other more viable places.

Another example of HBC's inability to offer imaganitive planning.

In this case, if it isn't broken don't fix it.

Too late for that now.
