Lendlease, the Australian construction conglomerate, have announced they are pulling out of the UK market.

They run the Smithfield development plan - that absolutely enormous patch of empty land slap bang in the city centre, which is now up in the air in terms of planning.

Just saying, like.
Smithfield is still definitely happening. We are staying where we are.

Pity, even if we didn't go there, making it into a park for people to use rather than a multi use money maker would be far better for the City.

The organisers of Pride cannot use the site after next year, there is a dedicated events area but it's far too small.


To be fair, they've only been able to use it at all these last couple of years since they demolished the wholesale markets.

The ideal location would be over towards Dartmouth Circus near the old fire station and Uni area. If a parcel of land came up there , that's the right side of town for Villa.

We got off this particular merry go round ages ago. We are staying put.

For now. My point was if we were to move , that side of town is more acceptable, someone mentioned Smithfield which is not an acceptable part of town.

I'm clearly ill equipped to go slinging mud. But if the coop fits, wear it.

I've gone back 20 pages and given up looking to try and find the last time anyone mentioned us moving to Smithfield.

Whenever Paulie mentioned the withdrawal of some Australian building company from the country. Might have been elsewhere on the site.
