Business briefs: Plans to transform Darlington town centre ...

30 July 2004

Plans to transform Darlington town centre have been put out for public consultation by urban designer Gillespies. The £6.5 million Pedestrian Heart scheme aims to create a series of public spaces in the town. Proposals include illuminated period housing, reactive bus stops that change colour as buses approach and lighting columns that measure the pulse rates of people who touch them. A water feature, a dedicated one-way bus loop, avenues of trees, granite surfacing and space for street activities are also planned. Gillespies is working with Darlington Borough Council and regional development agency One North East on the project.

Turning point: Magic of turning ideas into reality

Special Report: Risks in regeneration

30 July 2004

Success has a hundred fathers," said John F Kennedy, "but failure is an orphan." He was referring to the failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, one of the biggest military and political cock-ups of the last century - but his words could easily apply to most risk-taking undertakings. Nigel Smith, chair of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Regeneration Panel, puts it more specifically. "If you're responsible for taking a risk on a big project and it's a stunning success, the minister will be posing for photos with your bosses, along with anyone else who was involved," he says. "But if it goes tits-up, a file will be opened on you and your neck will be on the line."

Interview: The alchemist turning steel to gold

30 July 2004

Ever since Bob Lane headed up its development corporation in the 1990s, Liverpool's Speke-Garston area has been a byword for regeneration. Naomi Lindsay asks him if he can work the same magic in the steel town of Corby "When I left Liverpool, I wanted a new challenge. I didn't realise it would be this hard," says Bob Lane. And this is a man who, over a 20-year career in regeneration, has faced many challenges. Most notably, as the chief executive of the urban development corporation in Liverpool's Speke-Garston area, he was tasked with turning around the neglected economy of the second most deprived ward in the country. His new role, as chief executive of urban regeneration company (URC) Catalyst Corby, is clearly no walkover.

Economic Development: Back-to-back tours

30 July 2004

Local people in Birmingham have been given the chance to retrain and take part in a celebration of the city's history in a restoration programme by charity the National Trust. People have been recruited as volunteer tour guides for the Back to Backs project, following training at South Birmingham College. The Back to Backs are traditional 18th-century houses and businesses that were literally built 'back-to-back'. The college and the National Trust have developed an accredited 30-hour training programme which gives the volunteers an Open College Network Level 2 qualification in tour guiding skills.
