Likeablerat you are not wrong but the whole point of having a councillor who is a retired architect on the town centre working group, I was told, was to ensure we got things like this right. Clearly we got them wrong! Torquay and Paignton got them right so where did we go wrong?

Pathetic!! Is that the best you can come up with?
