Trading Standards
They tore down all the buildings on the east side of our station, in order to make a "better, more beautiful town". Not sure when the project will be completed, but there is a wall around the construction area now.
As you can see, the picture on the wall indicates a park-like space, with a nice big football pitch in the middle. Perfect!
What they are actually going to build, however, is a shopping centre complex. Just what Japan needs!!! More shops!!! Of course we don't want any of that nasty, uncontrollable green stuff in the middle of our towns.
In the UK, misrepresenting goods or services gets you in trouble with the Trading Standards Authority. I guess there is no TSA in Saitama?
