00:00 I've heard about the demolition of Small Brook Queensway and whilst I do agree that we should
00:05 preserve our history, history is what makes us what we are now, we do have to think about
00:09 now. And if that would mean more homes could be built, then I think that could potentially
00:16 be a really good thing, so long as they're not homes for people who are very well off
00:19 and actually would meet the needs of people who don't earn a fortune.
00:24 Birmingham City Centre, I hear that they're restoring some parts of Birmingham City Centre
00:31 right and I think myself it's a good idea with them restoring these old buildings, they
00:38 need to preserve them for future generations. It depends on how the style of the building,
00:48 how it's going to turn out. And also they should preserve a lot of things, actually
00:56 the pubs as well, which need to be preserved and opened. But no, not really, because I
01:04 don't go to the city centre much anyway, I stay around the area.
01:09 I think they should keep them all, it's part of our heritage, it's not pulling down this
01:15 church over here, it's ridiculous. Keep it like it is, there's such an influx from other
01:20 countries these days, it's difficult to isolate what it is to be English anymore. I think
01:26 it's very, very, very important to have those people reminded of what the hell they're coming
01:31 to, in my humble opinion.
01:34 I don't know, I mean there's planners, developers, I don't know, but yeah, old buildings, I'm
01:44 still mourning the loss. I don't think anyone else was, I think everyone loved to see the
01:49 back of the old library, but the old brutalism, just like the buildings next to the New Street
01:59 station, those old brutalist buildings, developers want to demolish those I've heard, and yeah
02:10 you know the ones on top of snobs, all those buildings. So cherishing some of the buildings
02:20 we've had in the past, it's really, well as you can see around Mosley, it's good, I just
02:31 like the historical buildings.
02:36 The Royal Estates Group finally secured approval from the City Council following backlash from
02:41 companions against the proposed development. The plans are subject to a legal agreement
02:48 that 20% of spaces are considered affordable. The triple tower scheme of over 1,750 flats
02:56 are set to be built over the next 13 years.
02:59 [laughter]
