Good thread. It makes finding projects that don't have there own threads easier and saves searching through council wesites trying to find applications for things

[Lears City]

Do you think we should just add this list to the summary of projects thread?

We could, but I thought this could act as a seperate 'directory' and so won't get mixed up with the actual projects themselves-ideally it would be nice if it were a sticky thread.

[braunstone geezer]

if we dont add any more posts to this thread then we can keep it as a directory and not have to read thru hundreds more posts on the ever increasing threads of the east mids forum

[braunstone geezer]

now ive put a post on here, creating more things to read

[braunstone geezer]

Sad isn't it?

[Leicity82]

Can anybody think of anymore relevant websites to add?

[philkeavo]

I can think of the universities websites as there are loads going on with them?

[Leicity82]

That is so obvious - I didn't know how I forgot that!

[philkeavo]

RS what about Freemans Meadows. This is one of the largest urban developments in the Uk and it only partly finished yet there is little information about it on the forum

[IMG][/IMG]

[Leicity82]

I thought of that one, however I can't find a website for just that development - unless anyone else knows of it.

[philkeavo]

I know it is surprising for such a massive development that it does not have its own website, c'mon Barratt pull your finger out!

[Leicity82]

They've got a piddly bit of info on the main barratt's website.

[Lears City]

rs - ask a moderator to make this a sticky. Otherwise I'll add the list to the current sticky thread. Let me know how you get on?

[Leicity82]

Will do.
