Gentrification or not, the quality of writing on here has certainly improved. Incidentally, my Dad was born in that maternity hospital on Hanley road. I now live almost next door which we find a bit odd.
The planning application includes a mock up of the restaurant frontage and the name 'Hooked' with one of the o's looking like a fishing hook.
Much appreciated Arkady!
The new fish restaurant on SGR sounds good and looks amazing. Big improvement on the smelly Halal buthcers! Workmen also appeared to be clearing out number 43 which I think used to be used as store for Pataks.

It also says the Twelve Pins must be retainined (albeit within the new…
No one is planning to knock it down. The council merely identified it as a site which could meet housing need which means if the owner looked to develop it it would be conpliant with council planning policy
Too expensive - LBI have a policy of only providing affordable homes so they won't want to offset the cost of estate regen by providing any private housing
