Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

Forum O. G.
Allegedly went into administration on 13th June 2018

Allegedly staff have not been paid for several weeks

Unless you know better ....
"Typically answers within minutes", but my message went unread for the hour and a half before they officially shut for today at 10pm.

Looks bad.


The website seems to be still prepared to accept payment from me, though I did not complete the manoeuvre.
 

Really?

Downing going under is actually really quite bad news. They had a lot of the contracts for business waste in the town. Be prepared for a lot of uncollected waste until that is all sorted out

There is no problem with uncollected trade waste.

The Downings trade waste collection has been purchased from the administrators of Downings Recycling Ltd by Veolia

Existing Downings customers will be transferred to Veolia.

Alternatively customers are free to use the services of Ash Waste, Browns, Biffa etc.

Been a while since I've seen anything mentioned but does anybody know what's happening with The Tavern or who owns it? Such a waste.
Was walking through the town earlier in the week, with a friend, and we were wondering exactly that! Last thing I remember a couple of years ago there was talk about it being made into a restaurant, never heard it again.

The place was gutted a few years ago, then all work stalled, think planning was successful in it being converted into two restaurants or a bar and a restaurant with rooms upstairs, but this was all years ago, so not to sure of the status now. Think someone overseas owns it.

Do you mean The Bath Hotel?

Spitoons and furry pies

I think those wonderful faceless people at Enterprise Inns are responsible for it

Or they were not so long since

I think the new wave of chain 'restaurants' put pay to the extension. That and the small economic matters of Brexit and Fuxit
