Well the credit crunch has well and truly stooped the Construction industry in their tracks. Recent job cuts at Berekley Homes,barrats and Persimmons have made the likelyhood of Policy Site 6 being bulit or the Relief Road in the near future as zilch. However the discovery of a Roman skeleton on the construction site in the past 3 weeks will certainly give them cause for concern but is it a showstopper?

More worringly St Modwen continue towards their 2nd round of consultation with so many questions still unanswered.

• WILL THEY CLOSE THE PROMENADE?
• WILL THE LIBARY BE MOVED?
• WHAT IS THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE?
• WILL IT BE BETTER THAN OUR CURRENT THEATRE PROVISION?
• WILL THEY MAINTAIN THE THEATRE WHEN BUILDING THE NEW ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE?
• WILL THEY GET RID OF THE HIDEOUS TOWER AT FITZLEET?

All these questions and so many more. The biggest question of the lot though is will the banks lend the money in the present climate?
