Thing is if Derby was left like this people would complain about it looking like an eyesore. Yes character has gone for some areas, it costs money to build. It's about economising what we hsce, retro fitting old buildings with modern eco methods is more expensive than pulling down and starting again with some structures. It is a shame but leaving areas derelict rather than being redeveloped and out into use generating money opening business or homes is better than doing nothing. Some areas of the country looked run down we should be glad they did anything from what I've seen elsewhere.
Wait. Was Derby massively regenerated in the 1990s? I am shocked by how different this city looks to the place that I visited as a kid in the late 1990s. The images in this video look like they are from a postwar society.
What a dive. With the exception of some beautiful historic buildings that have been preserved and will stand the test of time for years to come,its dreary and dull. The city is better now, but society is poorer. One of rhe biggest acts of criminality was when the government decided to use our splendid Midland Hotel as lodgings for asylum seekers. johnson and Sunak a national disgrace

Derby has become Grey
The hotel that never was
Quite a few things that have gone there although it still feels quite familiar
