It looks a mess right now, all the money required and seeked for something that seems to be taking forever. They should have modernised it and focused on what land they had.

Theres not much left open in there now which obviously part of the reason it looks a mess, but it seems to be taking them ages to renovate it. The plans don't really seem much of an improvement and the traffic issues taking away one of the main transport routes seems a very stupid idea. Do we really need a 4th cinema in the city?

it looks so much better in the picture than it does now, they have made everything compacted and sort of narrow.

@liampie The plans have changed a few times so it would look different that it did on the original plans. It will probably change again before its finalised.

Right now it looks a right mess and an eyesore. It’s caused trouble beyond belief for buses ,cars and for people who need to walk past. I really hope it’s beem worth the disruption.

Unfortunately not I would love to say yes but no it’s a big mess at this moment in time and only going to get worse

It’s outrageous to be fair. I hope the finished product makes it worthwhile,A few people I've spoken to are expecting it to look amazing,Only time will tell!

I don't quite see the point in making a big social outdoor area where the road should be. Might be just me but my social anxiety will go through the roof if you have to go through it to get to places. Same as why are they they planning on making a large central library there and a cinema when we have enough. I think the main issue is getting rid of a busy main road.

Still looks dump site this is I think 3-4 weeks after this subject was put up still the same talk about snail pace 

Looks much different, I can only spot the church in the background that's now a pub.

Alot of that is hard to recognise

some good historical photos. Also old enough to remember Mount Street Bus Station

Some interesting old photos to compare to newer ones.

The good old days before the traffic was made worse with all the changes!

There are more cars on the road now but taking away a road now causing even more traffic doesn't seem to make any sense.
