Here's a list of links to various press reports, and letters in the press.

Private Eye have been giving some of their trade-mark attention to The Holburne development.  Unfortunately, the Private Eye website doesn't give the full articles, just tasters, to tempt you to subscribe!  The Holburne appears is in the latest Issue 1197, and in Issues 1195.  It has also appeared in issues 1186, 1187 and 1191, but Private Eye only keeps the three most recent issues on their website.

A worrying article in the The Bath Chronicle, entitled "Holburne Building New Rapport with Planners", which suggests a cosy relationship between council and developers.

"Museum Extension Plans Rejected" reports BBC Online.  Unfortunately for us, they're being allowed to appeal (see also BBC Online again, the original mention of this site on the BBC.)

Stephen Bayley sounds off in The Observer in his "Is Bath Britain's most backward city?".

In "We've been scalded in Bath before" in The Guardian Unlimited, Geoffrey Wheatcroft responds to Bayley.  Unfortunately, Wheatcroft is in favour of the Holburne scheme, which weakens his argument.  There is also a heavily edited letter from me responding to Bayley.

"Shock as Bath rejects Parry's Museum Plan", states the headline in Building Design (The Architectures' Website).

An opinion by a journalist in Building Design (again), which talks about the UK's dimishing role in the Stirling Prize, if schemes like The Holburne project are rejected.  "Who cares?" I say.  Better a beautiful Georgian City, than a display case full of silverware.

Another article in  Building Design (yet again!).

There will be more...
