im not sure whether i agree or not really...... middlesbrough, my home... isnt the nicest place in the world, but the council have made efforts to make it a nicer place. the town center area is still recieving its gradual make over and i think they did a good job.
theres a few new schools being put up, all of which are nice works of architecture and we have a population who, despite many of them being distinctly working class and alot of them appearing uneducated, do have common sense because they voted in a man called ray mallon in as mayor. (hes an independant, and was ex cheif of police in m'boro) and he's been very good, very tough on crime.
so we have quite well policed streets ... hardly any speed cameras, nicely kept town center and mayor with common sense.
but now they wanna spend ?15 million on this? 2 hoops and some wierd netting stretched over the river tees?
of course the money can be better spent else where. a lot of people and a lot of areas here could do with that money, but if theyre gonna build a landmark to kinda put us on the map as it were..... i cant help but think they coulda come up with something a bit more exciting than that.
