Voldy, this is a construction thread, not Manchester edition of the "whats on" magazine ????? LOL

[VoldemortBlack]

Didn't have much choice Brummy! The economy thread just didn't seem right. It's only this month that there's been a sudden influx of restaurants and bars opening, it's usually all 50m+ skyscrapers and underground trains

Promise!

The Hydro, Glasgow. Centre roof section being raised!

Birmingham New St, Sorry about the size

Birmingham Gateway Moor Street link
30 April 2012 14:47
Engineers working on the redevelopment of Birmingham New Street station lifted in the first sections of the Moor Street link over the weekend. The link, a new pedestrian walkway which opens next year will create a new pedestrian route across the city centre and improve links between New Street and Moor Street stations.

Oh you've done it now.

Cue pictures of shopping malls, and an arena.

Why not throw in a few pictures of Leeds with a sheep in the foreground too, to show us how bustling it is.

Over to you 10123

I agree with you on that one, all of our cities have stuff going on and long may it continue.

Considering the environment there are quite a few large projects around the country.
