Good to see some businesses doing well at least - Chico’s was swamped this evening with tickets on the counter. Despite the best efforts of a certain councillor.

Mind you, only Chico’s and Caprino’s on that strip are doing well, every other takeaway was dead

Evasive work still going on in the old River Island, stripping it right back, drilling it out and removing the metal from within .

And works well underway gutting millets too.

Be interesting to see if anything interesting fills their places, although both being taken are better than derelict buildings.


A reliable source tells me the old River Island is being taken over by Specsavers, and the old millets is to be a bar/restaurant (subject to approval).

Wonder if Dominic Cummings is going to do the Grand reopening of Specsavers.

I bet specsavers would like to have a building with room for a stock room which is in the same building and not accross the street.

It is silly how they're building is split, it isn't a very user friendly building for the customers too, and upstairs is looking a bit tiered , so can see why they're moving .

It's a shame however, once again it's just a move , and not something new , as that'll be another empty property down there.

On my travels today I went to the shop almost next to the Texaco garage on Gaol Road, the range of spices they had was superb.

I ventured into the market too, and the Jamaican and Nepalese takeaways would have been very tempting if I wasn't about to go to the opticians. The food smelt amazing.
