The Masterplan has been approved (page 7). It aims to strengthen housing markets and Spital Hill, bringing investment and guiding future planning decisions, but there have already been considerable improvements to the area.
The Messenger is concerned disadvantaged communities and the 57 busy Spital Hill shops may be helped to relocate rather than helped to remain in the area. It seems a hard price after years of regenerating the area themselves, and for residents like 75% of those on Skinnerthorpe Road who like where they live.
Not everything is set in stone, there is a commitment to continued consultation in the Residents and Business Charter, but unless residents and businesses get involved it will have no teeth.
