On Monday 24 August 2009 the BBC showed a programme entitled 'Saving Britain's Past' which focused on Bath's planning history since World War II. The documentary looked at how thousands of Georgian properties had been destroyed and replaced with bland 'boxes', such as the Southgate centre. The irony is that this shopping mall has now been pulled down and is currently being rebuilt in the Georgian style.
There is an obvious link to the BTP proposals - destroying beautiful green spaces, which can never be replaced, with concrete. Why? To further B&NES Council's out of date transport plans which cannot meet their objectives.
