Plymouths City Center Revamp Sparks Outrage: £40M Project Criticized for Concrete Benches, Rusty Metal, and Lack of Running WaterResidents of Plymouth are expressing outrage over a £40M city center revamp that has been plagued with delays and controversy. The project, which includes concrete benches, rusty metal plates, and a stream without running water, has been criticized for its dramatic increase in cost and lengthy construction time. The initial budget was £12.7M, but the revised plan by the new Labour council tripled that amount. The project has also been criticized for the removal of 110 trees and the installation of what some residents describe as unsightly features. Despite the criticism, some residents remain optimistic that the project will ultimately revitalize the city center and attract investment.
