Seems to be all over social media already for what that is worth. That little corner needs similar protections to Womanby St, not more student flats (given the location I'm guessing at the development)

 

[ddraig]

yeah be student flats or hotel, maybe offices

Link to planning proposal in the above tweet. You have to register though before you can object. I registered earlier on this evening, still waiting for the activation email.

e2a sorry I see someone beat me to it.

 

[ddraig]

please no minty face without spoiler code!!!

 

[teqniq]

I have no idea who that is.

Save Gwdihŵ (& Guildford Crescent)

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Nearly 8000 signatures overnight is decent, whether it changes anything is another matter though.

 

[ddraig]

yes, objecting to the demolition/planning app would be more effective than signing a petition

 

[Plumdaff]

285 objecting comments already.

Difficult to ignore that. The Save Womanby Street campaign was successful so there is hope.

 

[teqniq]

Managed to object to the on the councils' planning site. Was already registered and had forgotten my password. Doh!

 

[ddraig]

very non user friendly that site!
still haven't had new password through

 

[teqniq]

You have to use password reset link on the login page if you've already registered, you also have to provide your own password.

So, if this Guildford Crescent eviction actually happens next week... Can it be saved by someone moving in?

Red and black still around?

Whut?
Sadly presuming the business have to be out next week

If you mean the Red and Black on Clifton st? It's been empty for ages and went to shit before that which was a shame

 

[shambler]

Whut?

I just mean, I wonder if someone might be able to squat it, at least until it manages to be protected (that news piece suggested the owners are pushing for a fast demolition before measures are taken)
