That's bleak.

As far as the Town Centre goes, I think the LA is focused on plans to redevelop the Interchange.

The exemplar neighbourhood. The bit of the right of the tracks is on site I think. Ample parking.

Gateshead town centre should be a highly desirable place to live (not a retail centre) that makes the best of it's proximity to good jobs and retail over the Tyne (is an unsolicited opinion that will never win me any work with the council).

Things people don’t say: “Remember that nice relaxing meal we had on holiday. The one outside the cafe beside that lovely busy road?”

Yeah, it's the kind of thing Foster and Partners are up to... circling around Ukraine like Hyenas. Which is strange given they (and many others) continued to work with the Russian govt post-Crimean invasion.

The ghouls at AECOM never miss an opportunity

From previous experience of working with local authorities on skate provision, would anticipate any replacement to be dumped on the peripheries of nowhere. No lighting. And as far away from any housing and civilisation as humanly possible.

All sounds good, but until waste and construction energy is measured in carbon reporting, we can't really say with any confidence that we are reducing carbon.

Given the boom throughout 2010s in Univeristy estate building programmes its false accounting on the carbon impact that hides year on year increases for most institutions.

What we found is that (almost) all universities omit Category 3 waste - construction and demolition - from their carbon reduction plans. Instead focusing on operational energy, food waste and recycling (things that are already decarbonising or easier to reduce year on year).

What a dump.
