    Should demolish Princes Quay and have something which makes better use of Princes Dock.

    Are you thinking of the very similar looking building about 50yds further down Whitefriargate, Silvers?

    Because this place has been empty ever since the bank left.

    It's been empty since the bank closed as far as I'm aware.

    I get that some of it is about location, but that's governed by other factors anyway, but it's bonkers that we have pubs standing empty, and other buildings getting repurposed to be pubs.

    From having a very quick view of the plans it looks like the actual bank building will be the offices and the bar area down a side passage at the back of the building. Seems a shame if the grand architecture inside the bank was lost from public view but I suppose investment is better than nothing.

    Could be time for the Universal Basic Income debate to be revived. I don't think many of these lost jobs will come back.

    Beverley Road is a grim entrance to the city, as is the view when you exit the Interchange and head towards the city centre

    Corpo is trying to do something about it by making every visit feel more regal, as you are forced into a slow moving motorcade. <ok>
