And the problem with a lot of what is being built is that it is clad in insulated render with timber panelling and galvanised steel balconies that end up being discoloured and look disgusting after just a few years - the worst example being the block on Preston Road at the bottom of Springfield!

No they don't, they look DISCUSTING!!!

Almost as shocking as the destruction of our beautiful language we have to suffer on a daily basis. Are other nationalities as poor at using their own language as the English?

Tmes change, language change, and for us to move forward together you must change.

You guys voted the greens in = unwanted cycle / bus lanes and nothing spent on renovation or repair

I certainly didn't vote greens.and after what they have done, i never will

Meanwhile, some jolly nice paving, seats and monster trees and pots outside 'Hanningtons' and the new £10m new Lane' through Simpsons to Donatello's & hotel is next...and the empty shops for years are now taken

Even more galling is that the council own hundreds of commercial properties, let to others, that could be sold to finance this neglect.

Yes, heaven forgive them for making money out of them year after year.

Oi, I'm trying to sell one of those flats at the moment, I don't need this kind of bad publicity! Don't get me started on Southern Housing Group (the company that owns the blocks) though, their approach to maintenance seems to be "that'll do".

I don't think it looks that bad though
