Save Orleans Riverside from Development

This would be a desecration. Artist's/architect's impression of boathouse presented for viewing is misleading to a point of dishonesty. Anyone who does not read the text might think it looks innocuous, and wonder what all the fuss is about. Maybe that was intentional. But if they read the dimensions they might think otherwise !!
I don't suppose too many people would be heart-broken if this proposal did NOT go ahead. After all, the Gloriana could visit and moor for special occasions if people wanted it, no doubt. However, there would be a huge number of residents who would be upset and disgusted if this unspoiled corner, so much enjoyed as it is, were 'developed'. And yes, the council has better ways to spend OUR money and in my view it would be a misuse of power to press on with it knowing how much feeling there is against it.
