Hope it's ok to post this, but someone has just told me PC World. Again, not sure how true it is.

Ah right. I thought they would list the company name on the application. Whoever it is, they are putting in a mezz floor to increase retail space.

Perhaps the return of Comet, to give Currys a bit of competition. |

Could do with someone to compete with Currys. Just buying a new washing machine and to look at any locally is near impossible.

QUOTE (dannyboy @ Oct 14 2010, 10:51 PM) You mean this was stated in the NWN ? What the bit in the back of the NWN says is: M F I London Road - External alterations tothe existing retail warehouse unit, creation of 1,639sq ft of additional floorspace at mezzanine level (class A1) and amendments to the layout of the car park. and that entry is repeated under the Major Projects heading. So to aswer your question, NO. |
