Er right...point of correction for you all.


The non descript block opposite the CPT was actually designed by a respected architect who was constrained in design by planning regulations but whose brief was to provide a number of comfortable, smaller energy efficent flats for singetons (for whom there is a shortage of housing apparently).


It did take a while to finish but was ready for occupation in early July this year and now all but one of the flats have been let (after 6 weeks). And SeanMLow I know you are in the trade but even your valuations of ?1900 pcm for a 2 bed are way off. And they are all 1 beds (bar one) and letting for around ?900-ish so get your facts right. Agents ! grrr...


Agree its a bit bland but it has made a lot more housing available on that plot to those who don't own a place. And its full of single people for anyone looking to pull.


And surely the police station is the worst 21st building!

Brendan - Should not to be confused with "affordable" housing schemes. Not sure anything is that affordable these days!


My point is only that it has created more housing in ED for the younger crowd. The alternative would have been to develop the existing house for private sale to 1 (reasonably well off judging by current prices) family....

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
