Mattio Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Sorry if there's already a thread, couldn't see one with a quick search... So here's the new vision for Southampton generating " 24,000 new jobs in the city over the next 25 years" and costing "more than £3 billion"... What do people think of all this? Personally I think/know it'll never happen, just like all the other plans they've ever had for Southampton. http://www.southampton.gov.uk/news-events/latest-news/masterplan.aspx http://www.southampton.gov.uk/s-environment/future/main.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Just looks like a few architects drawings tbh...no details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 I think they get a little bored sometimes and come up with these great ideas, that will never happen to make them feel a little better. So how is that ice rink with indoor arena coming on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattio Posted 18 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 18 January, 2012 It does appear unplanned, it says its up for public consultation in Feb so I assume its going to be displayed somewhere in more detail? Maybe SMS will be the ice rink when we move to the Cortese Colosseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimond Geezer Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 Just looks like a few architects drawings tbh...no details! That's because they're concept drawings, you don't get details until planning stage (& with smaller projects until Building reg stage). It'll never happen though.

Wurzel Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 There's a fair bit more detail in the brochure that they've produced, but it's still just a vision at this stage. It reads more like an advert for the city aimed at developers. The opposite of "build it and they will come", more like "this is what we'd like, please come and build it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 If you look closely, you can just about make out the pigg flying in the background. Will never happen. This is their list of developments which are due to happen. A couple of them should have been completed by now including the Millenium Hotel and Watermark West Quay. http://www.invest-in-southampton.co.uk/developments/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 I see a new hotel is now planned in Ocean Village. Guessing this would be in place of the Millenium Hotel... http://www.invest-in-southampton.co.uk/news/DevelopmentOceanVillage.asp#0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 I share a degree of cynicism on this but understand from a couple of well placed 'sauces' that there will be an announcement shortly about major developments, starting, I think, with the Royal Pier scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 a couple of months ago Portsmouth council talked of spending £1billion on various city upgrade projects. Maybe every town and city is producing these kind of plans in some sort of desperate attempt to be the chosen city that gets the limited private investment currently available?
