Thanks for the quick and excellent feedback Kev. Can't say that I share your surprise at Peter Millea's alleged involvement. He is the on the Council's executive board with responsibility for Assets and Development (including planning and transport). It is very rare that a proposal of this nature is made without some prior consultation, in respect of feasibility and liklihood of success, with those near the seat of power.
I begin to despair for us residents of Garston if this is the type of thing the Council feels appropriate. There is talk in high places and even on the local radio of how Garston is beginning to turn around. However for every good thing that happens it seems to me that there are two or three things which then take us in the opposite direction.

I cringe when I think of the millions that must of been spent on the so called upgrade of the Village, and the months of inconvenience experienced by us all. Is the village an example of good planning, is it architecturally eye catching, was it worth the investment and inconvenience? Are the numerous flat or, to use the modern parlance, apartment developments what was needed or wanted in Garston? Goodness me there are times when St Mary's Road and the Village, take on the modern day appearance of an old Wild West ghost town. Talk about planning and transport there is no evidence of any type of co-ordination of either in this area. I can't see it getting any better soon.
