This thread was started in March 2012 and the first post hinted towards "turning into a host town at this rate" so we got there eventually!
Had a walk into town today, and I'm guilty of not doing that enough, and went to have a stroll through what's left of the Guildhall!
I didn't realise access had been sealed off near Redrum as well as the back end, so I didn't bother with the rest!
I did meet a friend for coffee in the relatively new "Time" which is an independent cafe, next to Elements, that also displays that it buys its coffee from here in Staffordshire, from Chartley coffee. Decent price, a friendly welcome and nice surroundings. Give them a go.

In the 11th century there were vineyards in Yorkshire because of global warming.

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
If it does appear, it will be in the other Stoneacre site - Kia, Fiat and Renault.

Reading through the documents (yes i'm bored waiting for my 4pm finish)
Change of use to residential for the first floor refused as 2 of the flats didn't have enough natural light.
Also the change of use for the 2nd and 3rd floor has expired.
So back to square one.

Stil say they missed a trick not raising the lot to the ground instead of building more empty retail units that'll no doubt stay empty.
They could have built a nice little housing estate there.

Totally agree. It's an unsightly mess now, even the bit that they've just built.

It looks like something out of the terminator, pathetic, and should never have been given planning permission.

Can you imagine the smell from EoO? My friend used live above Grocotts chippy, she reckoned every single thing in the flat stunk of chip fat, you couldn't get rid of the stench.
