Anyone think this will actually happen? And if so will be any good? Could be a fantastic opportunity, what the city has needed for years.

Could turn out to be a decent little area.

For the first time in years Southampton city planners have had a decent idea.

 

But being a good idea and a good final product are two different things. Ocean Village should have been our version of Gunwharf, but what we actually got was a disaster. I just hope lessons have been learnt and we actually get something good from it. But I think it will actually happen. With this and the cultural district we might actually have a city centre to be proud of. In 20 years time.
