Some points I agree with.........alas, you are so of base with the above (highlighted).
As to Woolston, I agree, they could do something magical over there, but the plans are for more flats...........THAT is what is wrong in Southampton, no tourist attraction. Given the cruise boats, I find it laughable. For example, we could of bought the QE2, and turned it into a hotel complex. We could of petitioned, to have HMS Southampton, moored at Mayflower.
There was plans for West Quay, Ice rink...Bowling Ally etc, what do we get, another F***ing shop. What did we get in Ocean village, yep, Houses and flats.
