| Comment | Think LordAnubis was just saying that it's another sign things are going kinda ok for the city centre, contrary to what you generally hear about it online.
If you listen to most people on here or elsewhere on social media you'll be left with the impression the city centre is an unredeemable wasteland, killed off by Covid and a few cycle lanes.
We're a couple of years into the biggest building and investment boom in decades, with lots of good plans in the works. Gap sites and decades long blight disappearing like nobody's business. Footfall is back to pre-Covid levels (albeit spread slightly differently, with new peaks at weekends and evenings). Should be c.10,000 new residents in and around the city centre in a couple years with the range of developments under way.
Plenty still to do but it's not the dire picture some paint. |
