MAJOR PLANNING COMMITTEE GIVES TWO FINGERS TO ENGLISH HERITAGE

Last night the Major Planning Committee, with three honourable exceptions, agreed to smash to pieces one of the few remaining pieces of exceptional Victorian architecture. 
Marlborough School is now under severe threat.
Despite Mr Roberts, the relevant officer, telling members that English Heritage were considering the preservation of the building not one member thought to ask why a decision should not be delayed until the outcome of EH's deliberations.
Well done...cllrs Atkinson;Caruana and Dent Coad for having the good taste to vote against this act of vandalism.

So our council follows its well trodden path of destroying any vestige of local Victorian architecture.

To add insult to injury the project architects are the creators of the hideous £30 million folly Exhibitionist Rd. 
No....the Dame is not going to go down the other road of asking how Dixon Jones managed to wangle their way into yet more juicy council work. 
The Dame will be fiercely moderating any comments she perceives to be any way defamatory on this one....you have been warned....fly on the wall!
