MAY I refer back to the informative article by Peter Kay (August 22) about the metal-cladded buildings shooting up in the Arundel Gate and Eyre Street areas.
I go along with the opinion given by one of the interviewees in the article when referring to multi-storey car parks that "It might grow on me."

Well, I think that the structures may also grow on some of my endearing feathered friends, especially as the nights begin to draw in and we get the annual influx of starlings (sturnus vulgaris) and not forgetting the thousands of our resident feral pigeons (columbia livia).

If the birds decide the car parks are heaven-sent, then perhaps the nickname Roost could be applied to the buildings
