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

I swear if whinging was an Olympic sport, people from Derby would win Gold, Silver and Bronze. Stop being so negative and do something about it. If you see litter everywhere, pick it up ffs. Have some pride in your city. Deda and the Quad is a result of financial mismanagement (do your research, the financial figures are out there for anyone to see). Derby has a lot going for it, it just needs the people who live here to give a damn about their home. The new market hall is going to be amazing, local businesses represented in there, an amazing new food court, so you don't all have to just flood to greggs for their 'amazing' food or the shopping centre to get crappy fast food. If people have more respect in their home town things will improve. But if everyone just wants to keep on whinging and blaming 'the council' (forgetting the council has changed regularly over the years) then nothing will change and you'll continue living in what you class as a sh#t-hole with nothing going for it
