Creatively and personally it has been a good place to be. A vibrant creative community...
I felt the city had a village feel inside its city status, but it seems that the powers that be want to make it bland and look like another glasshouse for mediapiles/bland office and exclusive flats for those that can afford it. This in turn will eventually bland out creativity...
Looking at a picture outside St Werburghs Church advertising its redevelopment...the cartoon people looked so bored that the plastic glass interior of the redesign melded into bland abandon of exclusive piped muzak designer food stuffs with an olive on the side.
To top it all Derby City Scape or
are planning to knock down a music venue that has kept things rolling with the musical underground except of course the likes of nights like Hunting for Teeth at Susumi and Ponce nights etc .
The venue which is The Victoria Inn next to the station is going to go... for more info and sign the petition against such an act go to the site
People need to think about what is going on ... do we need another bar club that pumps out lame house music or a great venue for live music...
Go to Jyoti Mishra's page about the above as well ...
I'm not against change and fully in favour of it in some cases, including the new Quad arts complex which is very necessary for the city...
but to make changes which in the end become just another bland city centre is the potential of what is happening in the city of Derby. Glass / pale brick complexes that have no soul. I hope not. To erradicate your heritage is to pull out your heart. Would you?
