Wonders of Stowmarket - No.5 - Street Furniture In order to have a Regeneration Project, you must first have De-Generation. To create the latter condition, the main street of Stowmarket was festooned with assorted hardware, apparently to stop cars parking there. The effect resembles the sort of obstacles placed on beaches to deter landing craft.

Ten years later, the same body who put it all there - Mid Suffolk D.C - are proposing to "regenerate" the town by removing it. Maybe they can install it in Needham Market, although car parking is not deterred there, as it is in fact free.

What goes around comes around. Regeneration looks to be a good career path round here these days.  ¶ 1:58 AM
