Well i've seen tree buildings in and around the town centre that have just sprung up out of nowhere. They still ain't finished, but there's one opposite Sir Daniels Arms, one behind Brunel Shopping Centre and one where the old Ford garage used to be. Now i don't see any of them being flats, maybe shops or even a new club (the first one).

Anyone know when the Brunel Centre is being extended?

The one opposite Sir dan Arms has nowt to do with the redevelopment though does it.  The one on the old ford garage site probably is, and I'm not sure about the other one.

Oh is that what it is, just looks like a seperate building to me. Would make sense if it was, right by it. I'm just hoping the one of them is a Carling Academy, won't happen though.

I heard that as well, it's got about 200 rooms so must be fairly big. Thing is it's preety much right by menzies and travel lodge so will be a struggle for them.

I like it also how the developers have said the old college was going to be knocked down by Summer 2008 and the shops, cafe's etc were going to be completed by Spring 09.
That target was never going to be reached...

It's always pretty difficult to get visitors booked in during the week LS.

No chance of it being open this month, either that or the guests are gonna have to use a ladder to get to there rooms and gonna be a bit chilly with the lack of windows etc.

Be lucky to be open before Christmas i'd say
