I really can't understand the talk about protests, campaigns and leaflet drops until people have actually seen the details of what exactly is proposed.....
No-one has been kept in the dark about anything, CGI, John Pegg of the War Memorial Projects, DDC, etc, etc have been open from the start and have published just about everything that is proposed from day one. Many projects like this don't see the light of day until the planning application is submitted, so the route the current projects has gone can only be given praise !
