Back in the real world if I were building a new house of that size what would I expect to be paying (bearing in mind this is the small section of what is left of the old market square).

Be the entrance to Chav Central.

I like what he's done for the vaux site. Looks great without the weeds.

 

[Kubicki's right boot]

You HAVE to have a private sector investor to do ANYTHING. Primark are willing to invest something. Good thing. Doesnt excuse the inactivity on a myriad of other fronts. Doesnt stop this being a good thing.

f***ing disgraceful that that plot of land has been left to wilt away. :-(

What about the idea for a Crown Court that was mentioned for the Vaux site, no private money there.
Mind you do have to have a council that actually wants to improve the place and be willing to put the work in to get tenders like this.

Erm this is private investors on private land, note to do with the council

just a bit of pedantry, but that was Farringdon row, not Vaux

I'm thinking of the retail sector but I take your point.

The OP is on about the new Primark in the Bridges.

 

[Le Chuck]

The vaux site?

Primark isn't being built on Vaux

It's like a lot of people have said on here, get a large public or public/private partnership in the city and that provides the workers, those workers will create a demand......

It was, but the conversation changed to mention vaux.

 

[Arthur Mullardo]

If we aint got one..then we'll have one..surely theres some in the posh end of the world anarl..

 

[Richy Rich]

Yes it's private investment but still needs the councils go ahead, hence twat face putting his mush in again in a "look what I couped" effort, what about Vaux, the Holmeside triangle and the new bridge to mention a few, seems to me they have even given up commissioning the model makers these days, I recommend euthenasia for the idiots that vote these shitheads in.

Tories pulled the funding..........

Only a fool would.
They should have got the bridge sorted under the 'money no problem' days of new labour. Trying to get funding now will be like the proverbial pissing in the wind.

So are there any plans for the building that currently houses Primark or will it just become another empty shell as Joplings and also the former Littlewoods/T J Hughes building is now.
