Wroclaw to Receive Facelift

Great news for citizens of Wroclaw and fans of this splendid city. The Wroclaw Municipal Council has just announced that four hundred of its most forlorn buildings will be receiving a full facelift over the next four years.

Although Wroclaw is an undeniably beautiful city, it's also - how can we put this politely - a little rough round the edges. You don't have to stray too far from the resplendent Market Square to find rather drab housing estates and fading tenements. Not a great advertisement for the city - nor, more importantly, such a nice place to live.

Although the council had been restoring 30 tenements a year, thanks to Wroclaw's increasing prosperity, 100 restoration jobs a year is now fully possible. The lucky government buildings in question will receive, not only a fresh lick of paint, but new windows, stairwells and roofs. Hurrah!
