    Dave. In 1983-1985 I was on the Land Committtee of DDC and it was then that the process was started to tidy up a whole web of leases and under leases and to accumulate land holdings ready for development. The multi-story was just part of the problem and not necessarily the major one, though there were, I remember, some complications and it was not quite as easy as you suggest. It was a long time ago now. I did a walk through at the time with other members of the committee discussing it with officers. My keenest memory of it was feeling quite dis-spirited at the time about how long the timeframe was. I asked questions about the process trying to see how it might be speeded up, being young and impatient!!!!

    I have to say that we did not characterise it as 'regeneration' at that time more as a development opportunity.
