Heard that Game is moving out of Prospect Centre and onto the top floor of Sports Direct.

If Wings does not renew its contract which is up at some point in the next year in that building, Flannels may also be moving in there in the basement, leaving St Stephens.

Starbucks has reopened in St Stephens in part of the old Fit24 unit. The crazy golf place is also in that unit.

*Where the golf equipment used to be displayed.

Surprised Game is still going considering how expensive games are in there compared to Tesco, Smyths, Amazon and Argos. The store in Prospect Centre is usually quite empty too and the whole charging people to play on their computers/consoles seems to have tailed off. What happened to letting people play demos in the store?
 
Garbutts on Prinny Ave looks to be reopening with the old owners and team - excellent news
Not if last time you Visited Garbutts you ended up with food poisoning and a week in bed.Than to discover a few weeks later the kitchen has been closed due to food hygiene issues Dirty gits
 
Great moment in my local chippie the other year. It won the national .Fish and Chip shop award.
It was visited by Charles and Camilla. The girl serving asked Camilla if she wanted scraps. Apparently the look of bafflement on her face was a picture.
Apart from the football,seeing family and friends and going on a bar crawl when I'm down for games,I really miss fish and chips(and scraps)!!I've never had decent fish up here,or chips,and they don't do scraps.

The white horse cafe in Thirsk gets a visit on the way down and most times on the way up...I'm drooling thinking about it :emoticon-0101-sadsm

‘dormant’? presume you mean ‘don’t’?
Be interesting I suppose as I think they still own the majority of properties down there?

They own quite a lot of the shops, but not the majority, they basically own all the property around their original site, so most of the right side at the top of Whitefriargate, the top of Princes Dock Street and the left side of Posterngate.

Not sure how far £1.75m will go down there. Doesn’t seem that much unless the Council are putting cash in too?

The Council have put up £2m in grants that can be used to cover up to 50% of regeneration costs on a unit and they’ve got an application in with the government’s Future High Streets Fund, which could be up to £22m.
