Hi All I think a lot of folks are missing the point by focusing too much on City Hall and the cladding change decided on per se. While that's the specific issue which brought us out on Saturday, it's the message sent by the choices made (and the process and "logic" leading to them) which is what we really need to rally against. Take your favourite building in the Hammer (City Hall is certainly not mine) and apply the Council's logic to how it should look in fifty years. If they can justify the cheapest short term option for our City Hall, why should anybody else do any differently on another address? Picture your favourite church or street facade in stucco. That's what they've said will do. If you want an entire City looking like Barton Street Centre Mall is being "improved", don't protest this decision. If you think that we need more than "cheapest", fight like hell (whether you like the particular building or not).
