Thanks, also walked past on Friday night. Such slow progression. Really shameful for the council.
*Looks at Dyson Airblade Factory* "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

To be fair to the council, the work is being done by a private contactor, and the delays are due to having to fix additional underground services.

Topham Mall is looking good at first glance :)
Big infrastructure investments are usually under-valued and & over-criticized while in the planning stage. It's much easier to envision the here and now costs and inconveniences, and far more difficult to imagine fully the eventual benefits.

The ACC was going to hold supporters of the Frome St bikeway in those cages.. I guess letting crows eat political prisoners alive was seen as too 'medieval'

Presumably it’s the interactive lighting public art we’ve been waiting for since 2013. I did see them testing light tubes on Sunday morning.

The lighting installation looks nothing like the renders... and is absolutely hideous.

What they've done at street level is looking good though.

Compared to what was there before? I'd say it is a vast improvement.

Add me to the "happy with the improvement" list

Personally, it looks like some of the cages one might find in Pattaya, but that's just me....

Bentham Street
Signs have gone up advising that the road will be one way from 1 January

Image

Topham Mall
Plant pots have gone in and some engravings added to the concrete blocks. Seating has also been installed.

Bank Street
The street has been cleaned up and more flowers added. Looks fantastic! I just wish that green building was overhauled or demolished.
