The only good thing I can see is for the medieval kitchen to be restored, but the originally planned rooftop bar (which was bad enough) is now to be dropped in favour of a bar in the Armoury (the large room upstairs behind the Minstrel's Gallery). Access to this will be via a spiral staircase in the Great Hall!!! As if that wouldn't be incongruous enough, it's hardly wheelchair friendly either - something I thought was particularly important nowadays?
But of course, our Coventry Society's objections are being ignored, as usual. Some democracy we live in! |
