Is the City of Leicester a dump?

Perhaps they should take over the M&S building and turn it into an indoor market going from Gallowtree Gate to Humberstone Gate with eateries upstairs.

Good idea that, emphasise the walk through but work it in to the design so it gets lots of foot traffic going through and around all the stalls.

So joined up thinking isn't really a thing from the off then. 

 

They didn't consider what the area would look like once opened up and seemed oblivious to the architecture until it was all visable at the same time. 

 

I agree the area might be better used but the lack of foresight is unbelievable 

Anyone checked who bought lots of property nearby now they've decided to make it a go to place in the city centre, I'm sure nobody would ever do that, and it certainly never happened around the Curve.

I'll suggest it to the Architects. Nice idea.

It was considered by the Architects but their brief was very rigid so the opportunity wasn't on the table.

Couple of the former wellgosh lads are opening a new shop in town, think it’s in the old Harriman furniture shop building

Size closing down already rubs further salt in the wounds of forcing Wellgosh out

Didn’t know it closing down. Shame (not really)

Not suprised, they’ve never had a decent offering since the switch
