Could he be more unenthusiastic? this place was amazing but he makes it sound as exciting as tesco on a monday night. I wish they'd spent the capital of culture money on re-making this It's exactly what we need can't believe it's just 'gone'.

If the tram proposal had have gone through this park could have been saved. It was the link access that failed it.
