Gone off it now though. Sick of having to queue every time I want a loo with paper, running water and a lack of stinking puddles to wade through. Also sick of freezing my backside off at that bus station.
Park Lane bus station is rubbish its way too open, there was talks many many many years ago about closing certain parts in but nothing come of that (like normal!), expect for a few glass panels....
The city centre has gone down hill so much, its rubbish, why would new shops want to open here?, the council are way to late in doing High Street West, Keel Square and the VAUX site all up!
The next two areas which need doing next are..... Holmeside and Blanford Street.... both horrible, paths are dreadful, seating, lighting etc.... whole lot needs ripping up and re-done.
I'm hoping when work starts on the new train station all of the area around Burger King etc will be done.... btw... when i say start... the way its going it could be in the next 50 years!
