If you look at the thread about this development, you will see that this was one of my suggestions too.
This would also increase the footfall in the little used Arndale, and it would give the air of a bustling town.
Perhaps people would even walk through the market hall as well.
The stalls of the market on the Peel Street side need not even be moved to Broadway there is enough empty space in the Market Hall...the traders would be under cover(real cover) and that place would stop looking like a mausoleum.
Just in case Ken is still looking at this thread.....I would like to ask if this post is positive enough for him....and also whether it constitutes solutions??.....Since he seems to think my posts are mired in negativity.
Just another aside too....personally, I would knock down any retail outlets on the Whitbirk estate and use the land for something more useful.
