:05:11. > :05:27.It would be lovely to get her back, to give us closure, so we can move

:05:28. > :05:37.on. For the last 25 years, nobody has moved on. We just hope that

:05:38. > :05:40.somebody says something. We just have to keep going.

:06:32. > :06:47.Residents in the streets around this beautiful Edwardian building are

:06:48. > :06:54.nervous. They think a sudden influx of students could damage their

:06:55. > :06:58.community. Please see what has happened in Holyland and a warning

:06:59. > :07:03.lights go on. What happened there is planning after the matter. We are

:07:04. > :07:09.hoping to plan forward, do best track this, we can look it in the

:07:10. > :07:14.strap, sewage, parking, litter, before anything starts. If it gets

:07:57. > :08:01.regeneration. We have seen it in cities around the world, it is

:08:02. > :08:06.positive for the regeneration of an area. Getting the balance right is

:08:07. > :08:12.key. Having provided 25,000 student beds across the UK, the Welsh
