New city hall in the city centre
I thought only Americans had buildings by this name?
Looks nice, I wonder what's happening with the civic center site then? That will probably be sitting there for 20 years before doing anything.

Re: New city hall in the city centre
The old site is prime land that could become something really good for this city if they could only think ahead.Steve30000 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2021, 12:22 I thought only Americans had buildings by this name?

I doubt it will become land use for the public again though, more like houses but probably more flats or apartments.

Re: New city hall in the city centre
I liked the old plans for that area but I think that idea went when a few firms went under.

Re: New city hall in the city centre
Do we use City Hall now and not Civic Centre when that place opens?
If so, that's canny and I will adjust my language

Re: New city hall in the city centre
Looks nice though. All the investment is coming from an insurance firm I think.

Re: New city hall in the city centre
I can see us all saying City Hall as well
Old school here and I will settle for civic centre just to be awkward.
I still ask for a Marathon and have never asked for a Snickers and I still get what I want
