I know plans are just that, plans, but this looks very, very promising. And as it's privately owned by a venture capital firm now, they're likely to actually want to see a development through and get a return on their investment.

A little unimaginative with the other facilities (another cinema, another bowling alley) but good to see something on the drawing board.  Needs to be linked in to the town centre with a proper pedestrian/cycle thoroughfare under the railway line.

It needs a link to the town center where someone doesnt get mugged every other week

There's a swathe of town to the north of the railway line for which the only access to the centre is via a poorly maintained tunnel or using one of a few manky looking underpasses.  They could do so much more to make the routes in to town more appealing.

I reckon this will end in tears. We don't need another bowling alley, one will fold. Same for the cinema, will be the 4th by the time it opens. Don't see the point in a new development fucking over those that are already there. Reckon it would make more sense to increase the size of the arena and add other leisure facilities instead.

We need a new ice rink, which was in the original proposal!
