-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Down on birmingham.misc street, the vibe from Andy Mabbett is: ~ >Anyone know if Central TV have finally got their brand spanking new ~ >Central Court complex fully up and running and moved out of the old ATV ~ >Centre? I heard they had some problems with the new computers... As far as I know they moved out quite a while ago. ~ >What's going to happen to the old building? Well, the *plan* is basically to raise the whole block to the ground & build a new aluminium & glass thing with shops, cinemas, ice rinks, & car parks, with the centre piece being a tower block which dwarfs both alpha tower & the hyatt, & looks suspiciously just like the tower block that was planned to replace the rotunda. Can't say I like the look of it myself - the scale just seems all wrong to me; i'm not a prince charles as far as town planning goes (as I frequently say, I actually *liked* paradise place before it was turned into paradise forum !), but I do think it is important that buildings in any given area share some basic similarities of scale. There's a model of the proposed development in the reception area of baskerville house (end of narrow street, nearly next to the rep theatre) & an invitation for comments if people wish to get the full details. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNH14GkdRFO5sC2Q6EQJAzACePeLr/jyMk4YYBd93BFYOG9RU20gAoO9g 46n655MgnSf5eTDPNiH+Q7tg =4sNn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Starring Ricardo Montalban as...
