Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

[Theresa Green]

I think it was meant to be another car service garage. A case of build the basic structure then find someone who wants it and then do the rest to suit.

but with all the services garages around there now, i don't see the old eyesore next door being turned into flats.

Bed Blockers Hospital HMO

 

[c0tt0nt0p]

I thought there were putting a building round it and that was just the shell, not the finished product. Even most car showrooms have walls which is what I thought it was going to be ?

Suppose you could have a car boot there.

Wasn't it going to be the F1 Auto centre?

Bed Blockers Hospital HMO

There is no such thing as a bed blocker. Just thousands of people who remain too unwell to go home but have nowhere to go except hospital because all other alternatives that used to exist have been closed by successive governments particularly since 2010.

The developer will wait until the tenant wants it

I can only hope the contractor/ designer goes bust and never sells/rents that monstrosity. How is such shit design tolerated

At least it takes your eyes off the old job centre.

The tenant has obviously decided to pull out, so the landlord must have decided to let the new tenant (when one is found) to chose their own layout, which makes sense to me.

Isn't it supposed to be enterprise car rentals?

I think that's still there , but it just seems to be a manned 24/7 office and you can just go and drop off or collect a car, the actual area is no more than a secure carpark, but looks like cars are ordered on demand from the office or online. Looks like very little is kept on site.

As for this monstrosity, I've got no idea what it was meant to be for.

Enterprise is next door.

Yes it was Formula One Auto Centres.

They were mentioned on the original plans submitted to the council, so it wasn't built hoping that someone will eventually move in. Maybe in the end they have decided having 4 competitors on the same road wasn't a good idea.

The other unit/shop on the land is also to let and has never had a tenant lined up (even when the plans were submitted). They want £35,000 a year in rent for it!

Might have looked better if they had put some cladding on the walls facing the main road, so it didn't look so bad.

Waitrose is certainly making efforts to spread into new communities.

Still no such thing as a bed blocker regardless. Only attempts by government to demonise the weak and vulnerable and by private shysters to profit from their misery.

Going to vote Conservative again?

As you well know because I explained it to one or other of your previous user names in words of one syllable, I voted conservative once, since 1983.

So feck off and try and be clever to someone else.

That is quite bad tbh haha, but at least you have admitted it which is more than most of them do!

2010. Never, ever again. Though to be fair voting for Blair didn't turn out to be a resounding success either in many ways.

If you live in England, a choice of Tory governments, under whatever logo, is all you are ever going to have.

I bet a lifelong Tory voter a tenner in the mid-Thatcher years that the UK would never have a Labour government again. He did not consider Blair to be worthy of him claiming the money...

Where, pray tell? Love a little Waitrose.

Tories

Always somehow manage to justify being completely selfish and short sighted
