I AGREE with much of what Roland Bannister wrote ("City's two missed opportunities", Letters, 13/6), about our Newcastle foreshore and how it could have been done better. While I agree that it could have been done even better, it looks in some places better than it has ever before.
Does anyone remember how it once looked before all the changes? Many years ago I worked at Newcastle Post Office and I drove up Wharf Road five days a week and parked just metres from the water while the salt slowly ate my old car out with rust. Then I dodged trains as I wove my way across the tracks to the post office. The harbour and the wharf were badly neglected with little or no connectivity to the city itself.
