In response to Dave Rs query about the old market hall, the old KFC etc in the Bay, and the council plans. In my mind I have the answer to that question, but I cannot believe that I know it but no one else on the forum appears to know. How unbelievable. I cannot recall whether I read it, or where, or heard it or dreamed about it. The plan is to pull everything down and build offices for use by CBC. The only other things that I remember is that the supporters of this plan said that there would be a load of workers spending cash in the Bay on their way to and fro in work, eating out etc. The opponents pointed out that amongst the plans there was a subsidized staff canteen, so tough luck to the cafes. It was also discussed where all the staff cars were going to go. My memory is even hazier here but I think there was some proposal to take over some public car park and use that, Douglas Road comes to mind but I realise thats a fair step away. Mike P.S. It is a fair while ago since I heard this, probably about a couple of years.
