Stornoway town centre regeneration fund
The Scottish Government has awarded £1. 5 million to regenerate Stornoway town centre. The cash will be used to improve the appearance of the town.How do you think the money would be best spent?
There are no prizes, beyond the respect of your fellow contributors, for the best suggestions.
For those not familiar with Stornoway, here are two views of the town centre:

Shopping Mall, open 24/7, containing branches of major chains including M&S, S&M and Ann Summers.
We'd get change from just dropping a bomb on the whitehouse....
Spend half the money twining Sty with Tehran, then massive murals of our illustrious CNES leaders on all buildings. They must of course be in full military garb, Kalashnikov in hand and a fashionable Saddam style tash (well it is Movember).
What they're doing with the money is already known - Bayhead infill etc.
Great - the Whitehouse rubble can be used for infill. The additional Sandwick space can be used for more of the new Nici, the functions of the council can be taken over by the student council (during their lunch break), in turn keeping them off the streets...
Pay off you and Iain Crichton?
6.34- thats just what the town needs more parking spaces for our increasingly lardy arses and narrower arteries. Are the islands unique in the fact that when Seonnag is going to have an explosive gossip session over a cuppa with annie mary (50yards down the road) she needs to drive right to the door-is it incase mac an stronich jumps out of the ditch with his half bottle and a glint in his eye? and likewise town parking. We've got loads!
How about knocking down the crown, the caley and that awful dss building beside it, they look bloody awful. And accidentally back into the clachan for good measure, for no reason other than its the clachan.
Or why not paint the council offices to look like Baramory? At least then it wouldn't look like some bleak siberian shite hole communist towns stazi HQ.
11:00 Please don't exagerate. The Stazi belonged to the DDR and not the CCCP. Last time I looked at an atlas Siberia was well within the boundaries of the CCCP and is within the boundaries of the CIS.
I agree with your sentiment though. Except, it's probaly more like the HQ for the taliban or Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
did no-one watch the the itv? prog about people renting out their parking places? I'll bet there's money to be had!
Just sack all the employees with an HS2 post code - no parking problems. No Laxdale Bridge or Manor round about problems and the White House would be a Ghost House ready to be turned into a sleazy Travel Inn.
they''ll put all their money into ripping the heart out of the town hall and filling it with their employees.
ITs true - the town hall will be desimated by our "comhairle"...
Ok soo I know this was ages ago buut I freaking HATE the new town centre. What were the council thinking!? Its ugly as hell! And the big open 'plaza' thing at the public toilets? Useless or what....this money could of been spent on the town hall or something! Damn council... >:(
