I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this before on here (I can't quite believe it hasn't been mentioned?) but since their face lift, the flats next to the Pools look so much better, really improves the look of that whole area. Amazing what a bit of makeup can do.

Yes I thought so too.

In addition to improving the look, they appear to have added an extra insulation layer and new double glazed windows so hopefully the people living there will benefit from lower energy bills as well.

Sorry, I think they look hideous. You should try living in one, looking at another. Standing at my friends window looking directly at another block, it is like looking at a prison complex.

I like the look of them. Much better than before.
