Walking through town yesterday , I noticed we'll be getting a new cash machine installed if plans get accepted.

It's going to be put in the front of Greengate News, just opposite Yorkshire Bank / McDonald's, right next to the (new) Bear.

Under offers for the old top shop and by the entrance former boutique in the guildhall.

The unit next to pandora is also under offer.

Yesterday I noticed the to let sign that was up at the furniture exchange has been taken down and the windows are covered, so looks like someone has taken that on.

Not sure, I have askedstaff at savers twice and they have said no. Either they don't know or they are being coy, if it is happening

I think it would be a good move for them if it's true. I really hate the layout of their present shop.

Yes they told me that they were going to move but then it fell through, they could do with moving I agree it’s a bit of a crazy layout with things everywhere. Great stuff tho Love a good discounted perfume!

A thank you to the agents for putting Large Store Available.

Is it a tardis in reverse?

 

[Gareth]

It does make me laugh that they have purchased this premises with very little idea, except to board it up.

It was empty for 2 years without issue (bar homeless breaking in at the back), os why bother

 

[Tumble weed]

Probably be like the tavern, someone clueless buys it, makes it a worse state than before, boards it up, n leaves it untouched for years.

Does anyone know what’s happening with the old Air Ambulance shop (next to Cafe Nero) and the old Dorothy Perkins/Burtons as they have had their windows frosted over and looks like work starting inside?

I peered inside and unsure if its a leftover from a previous incarnation bit I saw an electrical shower box.
