What is a recent controversial construction / development in you area?
Hey,
I’m doing an assignment on local planning controversies, which means any new development / construction or laws such as new parking restriction placed in your area.
I am choosing to find a recent controversy from overseas, so if you have heard anything on the news, in your newspaper about a new development such as a major highway or anything that is causing civilian protest please POST as much as you can here.
If you can, find news articles online or even have a search in your local newspaper or news site.
Cheers.
Do abit of research into rossendale, Lancashire. There they have had many recent controversial developments in particular the opening of 4 supermarkets within a 1.5m radius for a town of around 65000 (2001 census). Not only have the council granted planning permission for all these supermarkets but they have allowed the town centre to fall into disrepair & recently parts of the Hurstwood Group (a regionally large construction firm) have gone bust leaving most of the surrounding areas & town centres in rossendale looking like something from ‘The Hills Have Eyes’. It’s a crying shame for an area that was once so heavily relied on (shoe production, cotton production in industrial era) I believe that a good report on this subject will not only highlight the areas you are wanting to cover but could also perhaps (fingers crossed) have some impact on the future of rossendale.
If you are going to use this subject I would be more than happy to provide some accompanying info.

Jagged Little Pill $3.99 Her intensely personal lyrics grabbed the headlines, but the bravest departure here is the way Morissette’s unique vocals stand naked in the mix–a technique that drives home the painful honesty of tracks like “Right Through You,” “Forgiven,” and “All I Really Want.” Sheryl Crow or an earthier Tori Amos are fair analogies, but Morissette is a genuine original with a rare ability to make listeners … |

Baby Einstein – Baby Mozart – Music Festival $12.14 It’s called “the Mozart Effect,” the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It’s a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to … |

Titanic [VHS] $4.23 When the theatrical release of James Cameron’s Titanic was delayed from July to December of 1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron’s $200 million disaster epic would cause the director’s downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912. Some studio executives were confident, ot… |

Dead Poets Society [VHS] $1.00 Robin Williams stars as an English teacher who doesn’t fit into the conservative prep school where he teaches, but whose charisma and love of poetry inspires several boys to revive a secret society with a bohemian bent. The script is well meaning but a little trite, though director Peter Weir (The Truman Show) adds layers of emotional depth in scenes of conflict between the kids and adults. (A sub… |
