Jon the Hat Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 Never been. Used to drive past when I worked in Burton. Every day for over a year.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 22 October 2013 Posted 22 October 2013 Never been. Used to drive past when I worked in Burton. Every day for over a year.That's probably the best view of Coalville
Mike Oxlong Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Maybe an injection of Roma is required. Once in we could build a massive wall around the place.
MooseBreath Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Just fill it with strip clubs and brothels. Build it and they will come.
Mike Oxlong Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Just fill it with strip clubs and brothels. Build it and they will come. Could rebrand it as Holeville
Simo86 Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 You've listed shops not supermarkets. That Asda is no bigger than Netto. Tesco is in Ashby. Isn't Asda where Netto used to be? So it's the same size
Finnegan Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Just fill it with strip clubs and brothels. Build it and they will come. Population: MattP.
I am Rod Hull Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Maybe an injection of Roma is required. Once in we could build a massive wall around the place. Cant see anyone with blonde kids being happy with that.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Isn't Asda where Netto used to be? So it's the same size What's opposite Aldi then?
DennisNedry Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 I used to go there every now and then from Glen field but haven't been since they introduced parking charges, like wise with Blaby. What's the appeal of Blaby? (even if it still had free parking)
davieG Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 What's the appeal of Blaby? (even if it still had free parking) There was a couple of shops and a bank I used to use on my way to visit relatives over that way. We hardly have any shops in Glenfield I assume due to the big Co op
sphericalfox Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Isn't Asda where Netto used to be? So it's the same size it was a joke.
johnny the fox Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Sounds a bit like Nuneaton to be fair, we've lost a few big named shops like Marks and spencer and that, and there getting replaced by cheap charity shops or betting shops, also we haven't got many nightclubs to go to. Fook me, nuneaton is nirvana compared to hinckley , the town centre is a bag of shight.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 New menswear shop has opened yesterday the missis said. Sells Hugo Boss etc, just the kind of place we need actually, will save me living in USC.
Unabomber Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 New menswear shop has opened yesterday the missis said. Sells Hugo Boss etc, just the kind of place we need actually, will save me living in USC. Seems legit.
SystonFox Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Seems legit. . What the fvck does colville want with an alternative to Limeys/Pilot and USC?? SRSLY BRO?
Bettsj2 Posted 23 October 2013 Posted 23 October 2013 Own a house there on one of the new estates. Always rent it with no problems. The estate itself is really friendly. The town was going downhill 2 years ago when I was living there. Apart from 2 outstanding restaurants there really was nothing worth going for. The only way it would survive is as a commuter town so the train station is a must. Then independant and small businesses would stand a chance.
Simo86 Posted 24 October 2013 Posted 24 October 2013 New menswear shop has opened yesterday the missis said. Sells Hugo Boss etc, just the kind of place we need actually, will save me living in USC. Where's that then?
davieG Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Snibston to close after legal bid fails By Tom_Mack | Posted: July 23, 2015 Snibston Comments (2)Snibston Discovery Museum will close as planned next week after an 11th hour legal bid to save it failed. The High Court in London heard this week that the consultation ahead of the decision to close the Coalville attraction had been flawed. However, Mr Justice Blake, giving his ruling at 10am this morning, dismissed the legal challenge, which was made by 24-year-old Snibston volunteer Louise Hall. The museum will be closed to the public, although some of it could be used as the site of a smaller mining heritage museum in the future. A spokesman for Leicestershire County Council said: "The county council welcomes today's judgement, which dismissed the judicial review on all grounds - ending the uncertainty for the public and staff. "The council will now proceed with the closure of Snibston Discovery Museum on July 31, in order to meet its savings target at a time of deepening financial pressure on the authority. "The Century Theatre and country park will remain open and we will continue to maintain the scheduled colliery headstocks." County Hall expects to save between £240,000 to £900,000 per year by closing the museum, which requires expensive repairs and has seen falling visitor numbers over recent years. The court case has revolved around whether the county council carried out the consultation fairly and fulfilled its duties. The lawyer for Ms Hall argued the county had failed to present any workable alternatives to closing the site when it went to consultation. However, the lawyer for the county council, Richard Clayton QC, said was not illegal. He said the county council was entitled to enter into the consultation with its own preference and that there was never any obligation upon it to follow the outcome of the consultation. He said: "The fact people start with a particularly proposal in mind is not unlawful or anything of that sort. "Taking into account consultation doesn't mean following it."

Babylon Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 You can't blame the council because there aren't enough people using the shops to make them viable. The shop selling 6 fingered gloves is thriving though.

No point in wasting the time in consultation then.
