For about four years the Evening Press has been covering the far-reaching ambitious plans the council had for the development of the Barbican site and the ancillary leisure centres.
We now see that these plans have been replaced by even more ambitious plans which supposedly take care of the rising costs and changes in the market which were one of the main reasons for the failure of the first one.
These, it has been suggested, will actually be in place by 2011.
These far-reaching plans appear to have even more strings attached than the previous plans. Can we believe that all the usual planning and consultation procedures will be overcome in the next five years?
