Old MFI site

The Planners at DDC have done all they can to facilitate this development, land-ownership has been a major factor in delays - and ASDA too of course.
Things are moving apace, but as PaulW has said, while negotiation are underway, it would be folly to say too much; many things are compromised (including contracts) with loose talk.
I can understand people's cynicism, but it is moving ahead.

More than 3 years since this was posted.
I'm glad you understand people's cynicism Roger because last week you accused me of being negative. - 25 April 2014 12:12264876The above is #29

- 14 February 2015 09:19278592After my comments re the DTIZ site and Dresden I searched through the archives for threads on the MFI site development - amazing that it is 4 years since it was first discussed, and was probably the catalyst that got David involved in politics.

14 February 2015 10:19278600yes vic,hitler got caught short and needed them open. - 14 February 2015 12:24278603Hitler did do for one public toilet.
- 14 February 2015 12:28278604I was in town today and thought I'd take a few pics, starting with the old MFI site. The artwork on the hoardings is brilliant, but I was intrigued by the notice on the hoardings where the footpath is closed off on the corner - I think it says 'Don't try to come and read this notice as you'll likely get run over.'
- 14 February 2015 12:30278605And very little happening behind the hoardings.

14 February 2015 13:49278613I am surprised that footpath has been closed, was it really necessary or simply to make it easier for the workmen when they come out to play at being builders.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jenners are progressing well on the rest of the MFI site. - 14 February 2015 18:54278627You could say it is going to be a open air Cinema.
