Belle Vue- for how much longer?


What a view!- a Belle Vue in fact. 8.15 on Wednesday night 18th July. The sunset might be good too; not that you’ll see that if the building opposite goes up. I can’t put a price on the view. I can’t equate it to local jobs gained or an economic rise in the area as Macarthy and Stone will on the glossy presentation that they will show off to the planning committee in September.

 It’s about quality of life- and I don’t just mean for me living here, but for all the people who walk this way to and from town looking over the valley and trees beyond who won’t have been consulted, who won’t know anything about the proposed ‘development’ , in fact, until it takes that little something extra off their journey.

In the next blog post, I’ll write about how the revised plan shaves a barely perceptible amount off the light/ view blocker that they want to build on the other side of the road. But not now.
