We saw in the Evening Telegraph that the Queensgate centre is up for sale...! While it might all be a giant rumour (who knows?) is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Reba's opinion is that it might be a good thing (sorry Queensgate) Shopping in Peterborough needs a shot of enthusiasm....! Peterborough is in competition with many other centres and we need to have a good offer. We're of the opinion that someone needs to give the city centre as a whole a lot of love and attention and not just see it as a cash cow !
How about some arches over the ends of the shopping streets - Cowgate, Priestgate, Bridge street, with some statues of local historical figures... something from our heritage, something that breaks up the concrete walkways....! Please, lets add some personality to this city !!!
Now we know we're not the biggest employer in the city, but its sad to see so many empty shops - Principles & Adams Kids have gone, with Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Burtons all moved into BHS unit - that doesn't bode well! - and now Niro, Faith shoes and Envy are reported to be going too !
Surely it can't be a good time to sell a shopping centre? Or maybe thats exactly why its up for sale? Now, if only we had a few million spare..... we could do good deeds
