Berkeley Homes office opens to the public

On Wednesday 23rd July, Berkeley Homes opened their offices at the old Meadowside Leisure Centre to the general public. Inside is an exhibition about the redevelopment of the Ferrier Estate, including Thomas Tallis School. The building has been clad in corrugated metal sheets and security measures are strict to say the least. Nevertheless, it's good to see evidence of imminent activity. Hoardings have gone up across the estate with details of yet further meetings with regard to achieving planning permission. The contrast between the huge new signs and the old maps of the estate (long since rendered indecipherable by graffiti) is poignant.
