It looks very impressive and ambitious. Hopefully all of the ideas will come to fruition. But it doesn’t seem to take into account the ever changes in climate that are being experienced world wide these days. Many large cities in other countries have acknowledged the severe changes that are happening in both winters and summers and are providing covered shopping areas or at least awnings on building fronts. Maybe this needs to be thought about.
It's all very hopeful and I hope it comes to fruition and its influence spreads across the City. I hope to see it one day. Maybe the phoenix will actually rise in Coventry again?
Love the fact the streets of Coventry will return hope the origanal names will retain/return, also live the fact the fab market we have round so no one has the best patch is involved in an strageic way. My one concern is the decline incline of Hertford St will be steps is there alternative for the infirm and disabled? Caroline Hobday
Thank you for a very interesting presentation; I like what you are planning to do (...and are now doing) to the City - my wife and I have a major gripe - Canterbury Cathedral and Yorkminster (for example) are splendid stand-alone buildings... so why has Coventry Cathedral been hidden behind terrible concrete buildings - the Britannia Hotel is well past its best-before date and needs removing; given Coventry University has so much space in Coventry it too can be relocated away from the Cathedral...
So you are adding 69% more residents into the city centre but providing them with 2% of medical centre, makes sense... also where do you expect all these residents to park along with people visiting the city centre?
From what I heard, Bull Yard and the surrounding area might start to be demolished around November this year. It’s just speculation, initially I heard it was going to start in April but obviously nothing has happened so far.
@@johnrendall2578 all the work that I'd seen was going on in the main shopping precinct, I hadn't seen anything going on in this area, other than removing the old tower near the market. Admittedly its been a little while since I went shopping in Coventry, due to lockdown.
@@johnrendall2578 there are two seperate large-scale projects going on in Coventry - the upper precinct refurbishment, and this. The former is finished (now), City Centre South has not secured the full funding necessary and so has not even started - though it is getting there. WMCA have put up £100m, but the estimated cost is £380m.
Love what your doing mate!! Keep on going!!!! Looks amazing 🙌🙌

Great plan wish you all the luck

Thank goodness they can't trash of the market!

Nice ideas, but if you're removing such a large amount of car parking, where will people park?
the car parks in this area are severely underused, there is more than enough car parking in Coventry.
So you are adding 69% more residents into the city centre but providing them with 2% of medical centre, makes sense... also where do you expect all these residents to park along with people visiting the city centre?
Does anyone have any updates on this project? I'm really excited to see what's being planned

That is impressive
Are they knocking down the Empire, that’s the only thing i’m bothered about, the rest looks great
Looks great, when will this start and finish
...you clearly have not tried to get around the city centre recently - they have already begun and its a mess at the moment!
