They've not been doing too bad of a job of slowly undoing some of the worst mistakes in the last ten years or so. There was a bit of diversion into silly city centre flats recently, but obviously that's come to an end, and thankfully a lot of the 1960s concrete shit boxes are gone, whilst considerable efforts seems to be going into restoring some of the Victorian and earlier buildings. Not much you can do about the stuff that was knocked down, but the new stuff that is being put up is at least somewhat less utilitarian/brutalist than things like the old bullring. Your OH is right about Nechelles though - drive through there with the doors locked at speed if I have to go that way! Didn't realise you were a brummie -au--
