Amused
This place has been neglected so long

Why did a group of volunteers with no money provide something that a funded centre with heating and paid staff could do? Why does New Deal For Communities fail to provide anything new that offers any kind of positive deal for communities?
Radford is a gun-filled crime hotspot filled with student landlords. Yet it is historic and attractive. Small things such as a community centre could make all the difference.

nice!

Personally I think NCC should dismantle the new market square and use the materials to rebuild the youth centre.

Much work to do...

This 'gun filled crime hotspot' is not how most people experience this area. Tennyson Hall still has an important role for the young people and the wider community. As far as the ASBO was concerned lots of good work was undertaken and ironically NDC has now been given this building to redevelop!
NDC has about 10 million left to spend and suppport in getting some of this focused into Tennyson Hall should be our priority, failing this all other options will be considered.

Unfortunately, Radford does have a lot of crime

During the few months that I lived there, a woman was shot, the local shop was robbed and trashed so many times that the owners gave up, a man kept approaching me in the street for sex, windows kept being broken, teenagers kept threatening and harassing people, and practically anything that wasn't chained down or locked away got stolen.
I think it is fair enough to say that the area is a crime hotspot, blighted by drugs and money-motivated student landlords.
I also met some excellent people, and I loved Radford and miss living there. A community centre would make such a positive difference to the place.

Symbol of Failure

Despite what detractors say, NDC has achieved quite a lot. Some of the work on local parks is excellent, they've done good stuff with local schools and the extra police officers they paid for helped to reduce crime in the area.
Yet none of this seems in proportion to the £55m they had to spend and high-profile falures like Tennyson Hall only serve to emphasise the point.
I've had dealings with NDC and know some of their staff to be dedicated to the area and committed to their work. But in the end, it's down to politics and the usual clutch of senior executives, board members and consultants getting their high salaries on the backs of the poor people of the area.
I wish you well in your campaign to save Tennyson Hall for the community it has served so well in the past, but I'm not holding my breath.

Another day another lost dollar!

I hope it doesn't go the way of some student flats once owned by Derwent Housing- who sold it off to private investors who are being investigated by the serious fraud squad
