Prime land to be used for student accommodation is such a ridiculous idea. The incompetence of the Council knows no bounds. It wouldn't surprise me if the bus station was moved away from the City Centre and the Central Railway Station - as daft an idea as that to house students in the most valuable land in the City.
It's a ridiculous place for a bus station anyway. !
Every time there is something on in the "White Elephant", that side of town shuts down.
It's funnier than On The Busses
This should be looked into, they have/are rezoning the bottom end of Queen Street from commercial to residential, with the intention of turning the Capital Centre into student accommodation. It won't be long before the whole of town turns into one big student campus! Somebody has noticed how lucrative student housing is with the current high house prices, and decided to grab a piece of the action. And to add insult to injury, the NEW posh residents around Womanby Street want the music shut down because music is audible I suppose they could turn it into the mime capital of the world, but it will probably be more student accommodation!
it wasn't the council who want to change the plans to PBSA, it is rightacres.
Goodway has a good track record of delivery and i am pretty sure he will see this one through. We will probably end up with something better than already planned. lets not forget NR are looking to revamp the station in its next funding cycle
Brexit affecting Wales already. Well done everyone.
I thought that since the Chamber of Comerce debacle Goodway is just an Ely councillor
It won't work though.
The city centre accomodation is more aimed towards foreign students, Chinese etc who are paying more for their courses anyway.
All universities are looking to expand, they'd be happy to continue devaluing degrees hell even allow everybody in to courses as long as they make the cash. Demand for student accomodation will rise, not fall nor stay constant.
It'll create a two tier system, those with money in city centre, Cathays becoming even more of a cheap as chips slum.
Not sure what you mean about right kind? Anyone can buy or rent a property can't they.
Also, how are we losing the City centre? The shops, pubs, restaurants will remain. In fact you would assume they would benefit from more trade outside of the busy times.
The problem with City centres is that they are often underused during midweek. In my opinion having young people residing there would be more likely to create a lively, vibrant feeling.
