The concern is only with student cars. So just permit to a distance which will make it impractical for students to bring cars. Say a mile around the campus? I understand there isn’t an issue with residential/non-student cars, so why would any large scale number of these now be displaced? Maybe a...

Even if it’s not converted back I’d have thought long term residents will be better than the more transient nature of students? Do you currently have an issue? If not, and you dish out permits to those in the area, and students can’t get access to the permits, why would anything suddenly...

Ignoring the car issue for one moment, what other issues do you foresee?

See my post above, seems to me student car numbers will surely drop if everything I have understood is correct.

Firstly, the new buildings look impressive. Second, the FAQ state there will be no increase in student numbers. So all this new accommodation will free up current student accommodation in the area to hopefully be turned into normal residential homes. And if the council control the parking in the...

But isn’t permits a good thing? It allows the council to control parking or those who live there.

Fair point. At one point it was difficult to know if Punch Taverns were a pub co or a property business.

Agree in part but I’m inspired by the fact there’s over a 100 similar pubs and also micro pubs are taking hold. I also feel old thinking about business is now being properly challenged; something will give and hopefully allow alternative business models to flourish.

Thanks. I note the local Park Runners pop in on Saturdays for breakfast as well; I’ll try and get over there for this next time I’m in town.

I’m not sure where to start with this other than to say they have got the place up and running and are now turning a profit. The pub companies you say should be there couldn’t even get their sums to add up let alone get started. Did you not read all this in the article? And did you not read...

Out of interest what beers do they have? Looked at the website but it doesn’t mention anything.

wellquickwoody’s comment is very mean spirited. I’m willing to bet The Bevy will still be going strong in 10 years time. The locals seemed utterly determined to smash through the accepted norms of business and reopen the pub that they’ll do their upmost to ensure it has legs.

To be fair, the article states health and education, not whether the area is neat and tidy. Deprived people can still have pride.

Who mentioned/specified Bitcoins? Or did you type that because it’s the one and only thing you know about crypto currency? There’s a couple of questions for you. I look forward to your response.

Can I refer you to the last sentence of post #4

I like all these alternative economics. I do wonder where the economic world will be in 10, 20, 30 plus year’s time. There are a number of crowd funding models out there now which have been hugely successful from small scale local to billion dollar international companies. And then there’s...
