Subject: Compulsory purchase/demolition of property opposite
town hall for construction of offices
Dear FoI
Officer
I believe buildings
from the 1840s opposite the town hall are being demolished in order to build
more office space. The entire town is full of empty office blocks. Who came up
with this proposed development and why?
Kind
regards
Sheila
