As expected, there are now gates on the entrance and exit to the old Bank on Lichfield Road.

Quite. Never been there but the anecdotal experience I’ve heard from my wife is the staff started cleaning before the credits even finished, went “oh there’s no after-credit skit, don’t bother” and the lights had come on before the film even finished.
Fair enough, just heard some people moaning about it, heating is faulty or something?
Probably wrong anyway, but at least there's a nice new cinema on it's way, it does need a good upgrade

Not everybody has that option available, there are a surprising number of health conditions which can cause difficulties.

Last time i went i literally froze my knackers off.
Now i have no knackers.
I'm led to believe that 'where there is blame there's a claim', but to be quite honest i had no good use for them anyway.

By that logic we don't really need a new cinema....
There is me thinking it is just some Stafford forum folk who are all doom and gloom merchants lol

Yes but, in this instance, they probably have a point. Can't see the new owners having any interest in the PC, never mind investing in it, can you?
Make a good town house/flats/sheltered accomodation/care home complex if flattened. Choices might well be interested in it.
I am, not that that’s the bloody point, you numpty.

The heating alone needs an upgrade, it's very 80s.

No it is absurd to spend that amount of money in it as there us no way they would recoup in a land sale.
Whether they improve facilities is another matter. I guarantee, 20 years from now the potteries centre will still be standing. It needs to be as hanley is in the top 5 of empty town/ city centres in the country. Without the centre Hanley is well and truly gone

I believe those of us that were born in the 70's are known as "Generation X".
That's just 'Idol' talk.

It's a ghost town, surely only Gareth believes anything different? Went late night 'shopping' last night. Stafford north was empty, shops, streets, a more soulless christmas retail experience would be hard to find. Bought something in Salter street toys, but from Gaol Square end up to the Guildhall may as well all close down. Millets should have moved further south. All I needed was some ordinary ladies socks and an Ordnance survey map of Cambridge, gave up in the end. Very sad.
