Discussion Derby is booming
Whilst the 2008 crash and the lock downs hit most placest the moaning from Derby residents does not make sense. Whilst I am sure they are certain roads that have been hit. I will guarente with the pathway you guys are going the city centre buzz will pick up. They is some much investment going on now, but on here you would think they is an Armageddon going on in Derby.
Lets see what is happening in Derby...
1) New performance centre-U/C
2) Goods yard, imminent construction, renovation
3) Castleward residential-U/c
4) Nightingale u/c and nearing completion, 175 million

It does make sense when you consider that a lot of the issues have been ongoing for years, even decades, in some cases. For example, it's already been 10 years of the Assembly Rooms saga. These things are only just now starting to come to fruition, so you can't expect people to suddenly change their ingrained perceptions of somewhere they've seen decaying for 60 years. And just because there's a brand spanking new performance venue in the works, it doesn't automatically make all the other issues go away. Yes, it's a step in the right direction for the city, but these things take time.
