Fresh Fears For Glass Collections & Archives

Dmbc have purchased the shop at the Redhouse Cone site.

The same problems apply and it seems the same questions, Is the Redhouse Cone site safe? Where is the parking? Will the glass be safe from pollution and vibrations from the busy main road? Are the cabinet implementing the resolution? Is the resolution working in practical terms?

Why was the brief so narrow for the feasability study? We should have had a thorough feasability study which included extending and expanding existing site for glass collections and archives.

The world is still watching with keen interest to see how Dmbc are handling the issue!
