    Apparently they're just giving up some space, not leaving entirely.

    Just seen the new M&S is 61,000 sq ft, which is bigger than their old Whitefriargate store.

    Sounds like good news.
    Real pity for the City that it isn't in the City centre though; it needs it.
    But good news for those in Hull and ER that can get to Kingswood easily and prefer not going into the City centre.

    I don't think you can call it squashing it in, when it's 61,000 sq ft.

    It's a bit smaller than an average football pitch.
