The old Jobcentre.

Handy for the station

and Maccies, the chippy, the chinese, Wagon, Cross Street surgery, MFI, Reynolds bar and HS2...........according to the forthcoming sales blurb (allegedly).

Tbh, anyone willing to put money into that place, to turn it into something useful should be praised.

May also make the council more inclined to give the vacant land to the side of it planning permission for houses.


So that’s two more derelict properties dealt with, with around 79 apartments created along greyfriars .

Would anyone see the Waggon as a positive?

 

[Cue]

Application for conversion to 51 apartments.

Conversion? I assume that doesn’t mean “tear it down and start again”

Also, isn’t 51 quite a lot for that building? We have larger buildings with less apartments in

Yes but people are getting smaller

Because they eat faster food

So you don't need a swing

Or a cat

Will this developer have enough wonga on tap for what must be a major project? Perhaps the New Beacon bloke will chip in a tenner?

I think I can confirm that 95% of the windows in the old job centre are now smashed.

Windows 95 is no longer supported.

Come on Stafford, you can do it.
Just a little push.

Has the old old job centre got a future?

Has the old old job centre got a future?

Yes , as town centre living accommodation, if it isn't torched before planning gets approved.

And tbh, the windows will all need to come out anyway, as they're not double / triple glazed and wouldn't meet modern housing specification.

Actually, there are still quite a few intact pieces of glass, I over-estimated.

It's not gone too well in Martin Street has it..

 

[Tumble weed]

All to do with the finish I guess, Martin Street have over estimated the demand for high class town centre accomodation, they're asking around 175-200 k, I wouldn't be spending that kind of money to live in town in Stafford.

The flats on foregate street and the job centre ones will probably be 90-120 k max.

No parking and what a view. Would you pay £175k+ to be able to watch Philip Atkins slip into his silk kimono across from the County Buildings toilet window.
