| Comment | It's been in decline for over a decade. The units inside have lay empty for a long time, and were only filled up by giving discounts to charities, art projects, and allowing the huge gym unit. The building is unpleasant, covered in crap like mould and bird shit, the awning is falling apart, and a complete eyesore. They haven't maintained or invested in it properly or being able to attract businesses. It's not a pleasant design or anything of historical importance or interest.
I am no fan of the proposed replacement, but having to stare at the damn thing every day for ten years, and seeing how shabby and dejected it is, it is clear that they need to do something radical to address its massive failings, and have clearly decided that trying to save whatever value that some folk think it has isn't worth the capital. |
