I HAVE listened and read with concern recently some of the reports in our local media from the Newcastle Inner-city Residents Alliance and other concerned citizens regarding the proposed increase in heights of buildings in the East End development of Newcastle.
Like these residents, I was hoping that the cathedral would still remain at the crest of the hill and that we would retain some of the unique landscape which sets Newcastle apart from other cities. The view across the harbour from Stockton has been stunning, but is gradually becoming dominated by bulky high-rise buildings such as those fronting Newcastle beach, and more and more high rise to the city's west.
