| Comment | You're looking at the city centre having around 8,000 new permanent residents by the end of 2024 through ongoing housing developments alone.
And another 6,000 to 7,000 if other developments currently in the pipeline at design stage come to fruition.
The city centre and its hospitality trade will get on just fine. Even better I would wager if the streets are designed to be inviting, welcoming, walkable spaces.
Meanwhile, as u/artfuldodger1212 has been saying, out of town shopping centres are in a bad bad way across the board, with the bottom falling out of their economic model. |
