Citizen editor: TK Maxx for Gloucester is certainly not a done deal
WITH the worrying news about Ecclesiastical this week, we wanted to put the spotlight on upcoming economic plans for the city to ask the question, just where are we and when will they come to light?
Looking at the skyline at the Railway Triangle you can see part of the city's future taking shape which is just fantastic.
At the same time, we know the cinema will open in November as part of the Quays development there and Stanhope plans are taking shape.
But on the other hand, HMV is closing and TK Maxx is by no means a done deal for the former M&S site.
NEW PROMOTIONS put out each calender month! Dont miss out!
Terms: Terms and conditions are when order is complete in full 5% discount will be given with this voucher!
Contact: 01452 223149
Valid until: Sunday, June 30 2013
But as a resident and a shopper we need to hold firm, we know this city is on the up but it takes footfall to attract the brands.
After all, we get what we pay for and if we spend our pounds elsewhere, we will be left without the stores we crave as the big names take their business elsewhere.
PRINCE Charles has not always been known for his common touch but the royal has definitely mellowed over the years.
He took to his two visits in his home county yesterday with such good grace; laughing and charming his way around.
Getting behind the sewing machine at Turnbull and Asser was a moment the royal and indeed Kirsty Halford will remember forever.
And judging by the turnout in Uley for his visit, his popularity is stronger than ever.
Prince charming indeed.
SECRETS of a criminal past will literally be unearthed at Gloucester Prison before any development work can be done there.
There is so much history locked away behind the heavy doors of the jail. The best use for this site would be to use its history and architecture to help attract investors.

“More cheap and nasty chain stores arrive in Gloucester, further depriving the city of its character. This articles says "if we spend our pounds elsewhere we will be left without the stores we crave as the big names take their business elsewhere", but this is exactly the point - money spent at multi-national chains is money sucked out of the local economy. The big chain stores provide poorly paid, part-time work and make the local population dependant on them as they put local firms out of business. No-one will want to come to Gloucester when we have nothing to offer that they can't find elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles is laughing and being charming - great news.”
