Quoted from richard.garvie
I think from what I know about it, Camp Hopson have always fought to protect theirown business. Any retailer would. But in the scheme of things, I think both Jonathan and Mags see the benefits of attracting another flagship retailer to the town will have. PArkway will be good for the town if it is executed rightly, despite the issues surrounding how it came about and potential hurdles we will have to overcome when it opens. Hasn't the development been built to the new spec anyway? If so, doesn't this question why we are going through this process, as we appear to already know what the answer will be?


Not sure what you are on about here?  New spec?  Are you suggesting that the redesign for John Lewis has already been built?

From simply looking at the site, it appears that the buildings have been put up to the new spec, but this is just from looking at the scale model of the old format and seeing the pictures of the new layout on here.

Mission creep, it seems, is a familiar tactic for developers.

To some, that is all that matters it seems.

By new, you mean 'mainly the same shops as we've already got now, just in a diffrerent location'?
