ChrisIB Â Â 11 #1 Posted October 8, 2018 Better or worse? More congested? Less traffic lights? Fewer buses and automated pod rides? Less crime? Will Brexit bring many changes say with Europeans returning home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky_Gibbon   42 #2 Posted October 8, 2018 Poorer. Angrier. Running out of excuses to blame it all on minorities and foreigners but still doing it anyway because to do anything else would be to admit to being wrong.  And the Children of Aquarius will still be banging on about the trees. Guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #4 Posted October 8, 2018 5 years is a pretty short time frame to be honest. So, a few more student flats buildings, HSBC will have moved to the city centre, castle market will be largely unchanged. Spice will be forgotten, but homelessness and vagrancy will be worse if we go through with brexit, even worse than that if we stick with the tories. The council will still hate business and cars, there will be more traffic lights, more parking restriction zones and less trees. The Three Tuns will have closed 5 more times, but still won't reliably sell a beer I want, so I won't go there. Neepsend gentrification will spread and more good pubs and restaurants will open down that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mickyboy   10 #9 Posted October 8, 2018 I like to think we ll be up there challenging the likes of Caracas, sadly I don't think we attain that level but I think Detroit or Capetown are attainable at our current rate of progress.
