Delivering the final death blow to Farnborough town centre

02-07-2004 15:09

On the the last day of June 2004, Rushmoor Borough Council planning committee met and dealt the final death blow to Farnborough town centre. We were told a superstore is in the 'public interest' and can override human rights and thus it was okay to kick people out of their homes to make way for a car park for the superstore, that a superstore would revitalise a dying town centre.

(The National Portrait Gallery, Royal Opera House and National Gallery are the most prominent current examples.)
