Class War 1 - no they don't
Temple Quay is this shiny new development of offices that in one of the most deprived wards in England - it's in the 1% most deprived Super Output Areas (the unit you measure deprivation in - a small area of about 1,500 people) in the country. Temple Quay are shiny offices dropped in with no relationship to the area, and is part 1 of the whole development. The next stage is Temple Quay 2, the other side of the harbour. It used to be things like garages, workshops and a police car garage - now it's all been knocked down and very posh flats are going up that will be right next to some Council housing and very poor housing. This fence is part of the gateway from the Easton side to Temple Quay - where you'd walk over the footbridge to get to the offices, with empty flat land waiting to be gentrified. Just across the river is a concrete set of steps where people sit at lunchtime, a square with a really soul-less Wetherspoons pub, and the route to the station. It's been interesting seeing the class-war-in-graffiti that's broken out on the fence......
This bit doesn't make sense - the answer to build something for not-rich people is that people who aren't rich destroy everything? Bizarre....
