Voll Blau Posted 24 February 2015 Posted 24 February 2015 i would build an underground rail network Keen.
MrSpaM Posted 25 February 2015 Posted 25 February 2015 i would build an underground rail network There was talk of them building a monorail at one point a fair few years ago, they built the park and ride instead though

Guest Posted 25 February 2015 Posted 25 February 2015 Demolition filmed by drones Great vid. I do love a demolition. Waited for one out of office window in Sheffield over a decade ago and got distracted as the thing went kaboom sadly.
Unabomber Posted 25 February 2015 Posted 25 February 2015 That vid was pretty intense, hope no animals got hurt. Was that even considered?
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 25 February 2015 Posted 25 February 2015 I was trying to get to work earlier and the bend coming round Newarke Street onto Welford, some c**t decided to jam his brakes on and go around the bend at 1mph to rubberneck the rubble (rubbleneck). In the right hand lane as well, what an arse-orifice
Head Honcho Posted 25 February 2015 Posted 25 February 2015 It should be turned into a public space. It's not as if they need anymore office space or apartments in Leicester.

davieG Posted 27 February 2015 Author Posted 27 February 2015 Apparently IBM are building a huge office on the site, they are advertising for jobs atm They taken over a building on New Walk World-renowned technology giant IBM is to open a base in Leicester as part of a multi-million pound investment, creating 300 hi-tech jobs. The announcement that the US company will open an IT business in the city centre later this year is seen as a major vote of confidence in Leicester. It comes after IBM considered a number of other locations across the UK. The business, called IBM Services UK, will initially be based at a temporary site in the city centre before moving to a large empty office building at 20-40 New Walk. These premises, previously occupied by law firm Harvey Ingram, are currently undergoing a £3 million refurbishment being funded by Leicester City Council. IBM is also getting a £1 million Government grant. Bernard Szczech, chief executive of IBM Services UK, said the main reason the company had chosen Leicester was because of the quality of graduates from the city and county’s three universities. He said the 300 jobs would be created over three years, with the majority of them going to recent graduates.
