I posted this on Tuesday night, on the Crown Works thread. Quite positive: Just been on Tyne Tees news saying that Cain's commitment was for the full project but it's actually going to be done in phases. The first phase is something like £140 million. The council and other people connected with Crown Works are confident about finding new investment and say the demandfor the studio space is definitely there.
I was in the town this afternoon for a couple of drinks, walked by City Hall to have a look. Unbelievable how close Sheepfolds and the stadium are now the new bridge is there. Town was buzzing BTW, great to see all the bars busy.
