@ProjectFearlessness I have followed #Arup business interests for many years. It doesn't alter the fact that #AngelikiStogia is a corporate lobbyist.
But I do note your determination to try to bully me into silence rather than discuss the substance. It's far from the first time I have encountered this approach, and I am unsurprised to find it in an apparent fan of the so-called "Labour Party".
@ProjectFearlessness Are you alleging that I made up #Arup's page about #AntelikiStogia? See https://www.arup.com/contact-us/angeliki-stogia/ / https://archive.is/5U9Cc
It seems to me that the lack of understanding is yours.
#YCMTSU: Who is the #LabourParty candidate #AngelikiStogia for the #GortonAndDenton #byelection?
#Stogia is Stakeholder Engagement and Communications lead for #Arup, focusing in finding funding and state support for private Energy and Rail contracts. https://www.arup.com/contact-us/angeliki-stogia/
The #Starmtroopers have really done it now. Faced with strong challenges from Greens #GPEW on the left and populist #ReformUK on the right, Labour chose a lobbyist for big business.

Now offices, the tower used to house a vertical electrostatic accelerator - alas, my physics knowledge stops well short of knowing what one of those is. Designed by Philip Dowson of Arup.

Sir Thomas White Building was an Arup design, which made me realise I never posted this - Kingsgate Bridge, the last structure designed by Ove Arup.

Plans unveiled for 150‑home riverside neighbourhood in St Thomas
Swansea Council’s Cabinet will be asked on 18 September to approve a Stage 1 Project Plan for the seven‑acre St Thomas Waterfront site, unlocking the next phase of design work and public consultation.
The scheme, part of the council’s 20‑year Shaping Swansea regeneration partnership with developer Urban Splash, would see the former industrial land north of the river bridges redeveloped into a mix of apartments and townhouses, with half of all homes classed as affordable — a higher proportion than the 20% normally required in this part of the city.
At the southern end of the site, a six‑storey landmark building is proposed, with commercial space on the ground floor for shops, cafés or leisure uses. A central green street would run through the development, opening onto shared garden spaces, while new and improved riverside walkways, safer road crossings and cycle‑friendly routes would connect St Thomas to the city centre and SA1. The plans also include a landscaped buffer along Pentreguinea Road to help screen traffic and reduce noise.
Artist’s sketches of the proposed developmentCouncil leader Cllr Rob Stewart said the project would breathe new life into a site that has stood empty for decades. “Large parts of the river corridor have been left behind for too long,” he said. “This project is about changing that – bringing new homes, affordable housing, green public spaces and other facilities to the riverside. The scheme will help address local housing demand while reconnecting people with the Tawe and creating a thriving neighbourhood that builds on Swansea’s rich history.”
Urban Splash, working in joint venture with Lovell, is leading the design alongside Stirling Prize‑winning architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, landscape architects Grant Associates and engineers Arup. Housing association Pobl Group is proposed as the partner to deliver the majority of the affordable homes.
David Warburton, of Urban Splash, said the vision was to create a sustainable neighbourhood that feels part of the existing community, with high‑quality homes, green spaces and new routes for walking, cycling and enjoying the river. “The next stage will involve detailed design work and conversations with local people so together we can shape a development Swansea can be proud of,” he said.
If Cabinet approves the Stage 1 plan, Urban Splash will have six months to produce a Stage 2 Project Plan with detailed designs, costings and a public engagement programme before a planning application is submitted. The St Thomas site is one of seven strategic locations earmarked for regeneration under the Shaping Swansea partnership, which also includes projects at the Civic Centre, Guildhall and other key city‑centre plots.
