Re: New Portobello High School - Private Bill Porty Park
Call me a cynic, call me suspicious, or just call my comprehension skills into question, but is it a coincidnece that since the bragged about, and subsequently condoned, "do one" episode, things have gone a tad quite on here?

Perhaps you are having trouble linking posts together. What Stephen's distasteful post did was recall a confrontation between him, Diana Cairns and Stephen Hawkins.

Once the accessible all weather pitches are in place, the usage figures for the park will increase, possibly by a factor of 10 or more on a weekly basis.

PoP, I agree with you entirely. This is a great design, low-rise and shrouded in trees but this type of design is not popular around here. On the contrary, its not popular with PPAG, a tiny group of people, but the vast majority of those who have expressed an opinion are all for it. A school like H...

Re: New Portobello High School - PPAG win legal appeal
A refurb will be off the table because the building form is fundamentally ill suited to a school. It certainly wouldn't be a cheap or cost effective option, even before you consider the cost and educational disruption of an extended decant. At the end of it you'd still have a inadequate building co...

Portobello Park was chosen for a good reason.

There are NO quick or easy alter...
