Sorry, I haven't posted in here in a while and I couldn't see if there was already a topic dedicated to what we want to come to the new Parkway development.

I'm not sure if all that's planned is shops and restaurants, but I'd love to see a Hot Yoga studio come to Newbury. I know there would be a large amount of people who would go to it and it's something that no gym in Newbury can offer right now.

Also to be on the unhealthy side, I'd love a Mexican Restaurant as well! laugh.gif

Is there anything in particular you'd like to see in the new Parkway development?

Oooh! Yes please! John Lewis would win my vote.
Failling that, a decent toy shop (I sorely miss Woolworths for presents for children, find myself wandering aimlessly in ToysRUs in Swindon). Of course, John Lewis toy department would be preferable......... wink.gif

There is a toy shop in the small unit on the corner in the Kennet Centre.

What about a big Pyramid to show the connection between the Earl of Carnarvon and Egypt?

A couple of members of my family would like H&M please. I think that it would be nice (although unlikely) for the owners to keep a number of units for low rent for independent local businesses. Or put all the big chains in Parkway and get some proper shops in Northbrook Street. A greengrocer, fishmonger and deli would be nice.

I'd just like to see that the shop units are actually filled!

Quite unlikely when you see the number of empty units around Newbury at the moment!!

I'd like to see a wagamama and Yo! Sushi (Or their independent equivelents) and somewhere you can buy decent blokes clothes/suits that appeal to under 30s. Shakeaway would be nice too. Mmmm.

H & M are, allegedly one of the big name stores to be coming to Parkway.

I doubt there would be enough trade to sustain a Greengrocers or Fishmongers in Newbury. We have had them in the past & they have all closed.
We have a Deli of sorts ( although I have never been in as it really seems to be some kind of clandestine wino's hangout ) in the Market Place.
