The mayor has expressed deep frustration over the prolonged delays in the redevelopment of Lansdown Industrial Estate. Despite planning permission being approved nearly two years ago, the demolition has yet to commence. One of the primary concerns is that roads in the area may be resurfaced only to be excavated shortly afterwards, adding unnecessary disruption and costs.
Local officials and residents alike are calling for swift action to move the project forward. The delays not only stall economic growth opportunities but also raise questions about the coordination and planning between agencies responsible for the redevelopment. The mayor’s outcry highlights the need for clearer timelines and commitments to ensure the area’s transformation proceeds efficiently without redundant works.
