Given the presence of any number of builders and their equipment up the other end of the site over the past few years, you think they'd have thought to use some of them to stabilise the structures, rather than let them decay and collapse; a more cynical person than myself might suggest that inaction has provided them with another useful bargaining chip to shoe-horn as many more houses onto the site as possible. While I'm sure the BHG have their hearts in the right place, they really should take a close look at the crumbling remnants on the site and have a long, hard think about this whole thing has been conducted.<br /><br />Everyone (well, everyone who was paying close attention ten years ago) will remember the fulsome promises made at the time the development was approved. It might be an interesting exercise to compare the information we were given then with the reality on the ground now (i.e. an inappropriately dense and poorly sited development of startlingly ugly houses).John Wilkinson's Ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-44457174929213452882011-03-18T21:09:23.582+00:002011-03-18T21:09:23.582+00:00Of course, why spend your own money on delivering ...Of course, why spend your own money on delivering promises that you made in order to get the agreement when you can get the gullible tax payer to pay for it instead?<br /><br />BDL and Rogers are taking us all for a ride.
