I see a news article heralds the opening of three 'new' shops for Parkway. All well and good but it implies that it's further evidence of more businesses moving into the town. Aren't all three of these just 'relocators' that have moved out of Northbrook Street?
Will there be a separate article about the death of Northbrook Street? Parkway expands... Did Animal REALLY move out of town 'several years ago'? I know time flies but I thought they were still at the top end only last year (although I'm no shopping expert, so NWN may be right after all and this IS a good news story...) Hooray!! The Recession's over! |

Will be interesting to see if any retail park outlets move down. Wonder what we'd have up there in empty units Oxfam World presumably!

Newbury died about 6 years ago if you didn't notice.
Because I did. -------------------- :p
