It is very easy to knock as some are here but getting things done is a lot harder. I remember way back when I was on the Land Committee in 1983/84 we were told that there was a complex arrangement of land ownership/leases/underleases and so on in the area around Russell Street and that it would take many years to unravel. The work started back then and was viewed as a very long term project. It is good to see that it has got as far as it has and work on demolition has started. The involvement of outside funding agencies in other parts of the regeneration scheme is another drag on the timescales.
To compare DHB and DDC is totally wrong and unfair for reasons Roger has mentioned. They have so much more commercial freedom. The development is under way, painfully slowly but it is happening.
