The popularity of the Tuesday street market illustrates that it's sadly no longer fit for purpose. However, I think RMBC should be concentrating its efforts on genuine projects which will stimulate economic recovery, rather than pet projects because someone in the council has discovered that they have the keys to the bulldozer in their back pocket.<br /><br />I'd love to see RMBC do something with the Mecca Bingo site, possibly something similar to the amazing Storyhouse project in Chester which now houses a library, as well as a performance space.<br /><br />As for the market development. I think I'll reserve judgement on it and see what happens, but other regeneration pet projects which have seen genuinely interesting buildings in the town centre destined for the wrecking ball doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. It'll be interesting to see how many more ghetto like flats they'll try and squeeze onto the site!
