Church St./Portland St. site - hopes dashed

March 2018

Nov. 2018

This valuable corner site has now been left derelict for at least 25 years when it could have been providing homes, workplaces and a substantial boost to the Council's hard-pressed resources. 

Hopes were raised earlier this year that development might at last be about to begin when the licensed hoardings were moved outwards, presumably to allow building to begin to the pre-existing building lines.  The hopes were premature however - the hoardings have now been moved back. A small compensation is that we can now use the pavements again.
