    I understand why they’re targeting that area, however I would love to see Wellington Street area get some love.

    I think there are plans to create a town centre park from the old BHS building up to Wellington street in the master plan so it's probably being allowed to deteriorate because anyone wanting to invest would be advised of the plan by the solicitors and put off

    I just hope whatever development and potential success is sustained. We don't need an expensive white elephant town centre, while the rest of the borough is left to ruin.

    I'm glad of all this development though. At least for the entertainment it brings me from reading all the inevitable morngy Facebook comments :D

    Plans look good but let's hope they don't switch the lights off it all when the novelty wears off like the Glassworks square.

    A think I’ve seen reports about demolishing the BHS building before but not up to Wellington Street cos there’s a full row of shops on Market Street, and the old entrance to M&S which I suspect at some stage will get developed into something

    I think it is pretty good what they have done so far.
    Apart from the stupid amount spent on Nudgers bridge.
