It's open, my guess is they have turned off the ability to order via the app so they can better manage the orders in store....

Works started on the new garages, sales office and service sites moving into the vacant land next to the old job centre.

I'd have thought it'd be better clearing the lot and turning it to a housing estate tbh.

Hopefully once that's completed , someone will buy and start work on the job centre.

I thought someone already owned the old Job Centre, but the council didn't like their idea of turning it into apartments?

The council can fix the damn thing up then.

Seems to be a philosophy these days doesn't it, leaving reasonable state buildings to just rot and decay away. I take it it's about the 'root of all evil' but I've never really understood it.

Think it was a contractor company. Certainly someone my wife deals with but I switch off when she talks building and contractors.

Edit. Just been informed that I need to take that name off and they only bought the land adjacent to the job centre.

The council?

As in the Works and Pension Government Department ?

That council?

Well on the same road as the old Job Centre they at least fixed up that house that was rotting away for a while

Although that was private not the council? Was for sale in 2009 when I bought mine but they wanted 250k for it despite the work needed. Iirc it ended up selling for under 150k a year later.

They did an awesome job of renovating this place, but such a nasty location. Makes no sense!

Not at all "a nasty location" for anyone who doesn't like neighbours. .

There are premises for a business out back, I always assumed that's why they wanted it but nothing happened.

No as in if the council won’t let planning go through for it to be something useful they can take the burden of it on
