Sad End to Rackmead

I have no doubt that many feel that WPBC planning department's recent decision to allow the demolition of Rackmead is a sad event indeed. At the end of the day, it's all about money. To those who don't care about our history and heritage, money is more important and that being the case with Rackmead has been clearly illustrated.

Demolition and new build is VAT-free, renovation is not. Is it not about time that legislation was changed to promote the saving of our history and heritage?

Either way, the planning department hold our heritage in their hands when it comes to making decisions such as this. Shame on them for destroying our local scenery and our heritage.
