Town Centre Masterplan

Sounds good in theory but will it happen in practice. Too often in the past there have been ideas and plans that have sadly gone south for the winter. If it works then it will boost the town but somehow I personally think it wont happen for a few years yet.
 
Or will they bring in some more pot plants? ................ Hang on a mo.............. How long ago was this scheme put forward? Maybe the pot plants are the master plan!
 
tut tut more mess ...more confusion when will it end, would love to see proper bus station near the railway station, i did think this might have happened therefore giving us a pedestrian only town center shopping area.

Proberly was and they spent that much on the consultation there was no money left to decorate the bland plant pots. :eek:

Putting the bus station near the railway station would have anger from the shoppers so why not a buss that ferries people to and from the station?
 
Those pots aren't so bland now the nasturtiums have dangled over the sides. ;)

Bus station should have been sorted out before that Wilkinson's block was built, not vice versa.
 
I think the best plan for the town centre would be to erect a border fence with armed guards to keep the chavs out. That would brighten up the town centre no end :D
 
Its the slow percolating that is the problem. They will then claim them as their own even if the public has been shouting about it for years. It will all happen when we have a LibDem PM and William as king. That is the amount of faith I have in it happening.
 
Well done A-B on finding that link .. I do have a small article with URBED's general comments on the 15th June in 'Planning' but afraid did not scan well and unreadably for attaching. Seems there will be some formal public consultation likely in the Autumn. The finishing comment by URBED was: "There seems to be a flicker of optimism so we want to provide a framework to deliver it" ... let's all have this shall we ?
 
I see they mention 'wildlife' in the Grange area being 'due to the river' and love the bit which says "the river in the Grange area is attractive and should be enhanced"

Woohoo! I've been saying that for years. Do you think there might be a chance it could happen at last?
