| I went today and am excited and disappointed at the same time. I realise that something should be done about the tired high street but what is proposed looks a little like a utilitarian Lego and glass reality...I think the rich history of the parish should be recognised in some way and the naming of walkways,squares and plazas should reflect it at least.I few archways and rounded roofa would be nice too to break up the squares and rectangles.I realise that there are few buildings of architectural merit at the moment but the plans seem to allow for these to be left alone.There is a space for the facilities that Waterman's provided according to the very helpful chap that I spoke to but he seemed a little vague on that.No definite commitment to Waterman's as such but it is such a well liked local resource imo and moving it into the town centre will improve the degree of attendance imo. |
