A day with a landsurveyor.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Huw Davis, a landsurveyor came to school.He explained to us the new project to restyle the Westgate shopping centre, because the shopping is for tourists and it's expensive!!! Also people are leaving Oxford to go shopping in other cities.


In our opinion, this plan presents negative and positive things...

The negative things are:

- Car park is negative for people, because the cars make CO2 , and produce more pollution.


- The old houses will be destroyed and this might detract from the "old style" atmosphere of this area.


- The length of the project will be four years and this is a problem for the tourists that come to Oxford and also for the local people!

The positive things are:

- The new shopping centre will be good for the local economy.

- We regard to the environmentally friendly design, it will have solar panels, a greener heating system using trees and the flow of the original stream will not be changed.

In general we think that this project is very interesting for tourists because the new building is a meeting point for the tourists, but the price of the things will become more expensive. The local people will go shopping in other cities, because the prices in other cities aren't so expensive.
