Exeter and Princesshay
may I first of all congratulate the developers and the architects for their efforts to deliver a prestigious development called Princesshay. However, I would have thought that it would have been the perfect time to redefine the whole area by giving it a new name. Too many of us oldies will forever refer back to the old Princesshay and its history.A criticism will be the lack of cover down the whole concourse, as the rain falls in sheets as I write this letter many will, I am sure, be sharing my view. What now becomes an imperative is the demolition of the old Debenhams and the revelopment of the bus and coach station. I personally do not accept that the Debenhams site should be retained for any reason, it is after all an atrocity, bar none, on the Exeter skyline. So, come on councillors, and officers, who want to bask in the glory of Princesshay let us have a definitive statement on the old Debenhams and the coach station, or have the owners of Princesshay (Land Securities) demanded that there must be no competition to the new development for a number of years.Finally, I understand that there is, in fact, no affordable, or social housing, on the site but that it has been built in Cheke Street next to the new Post Office. We certainly cannot have the rich and poor mixing now can we. Oh, and exactly where is the Post Box outside the new Post Office for late posting.
