Success!

Propaganda surrounding the West of Market Place development (or Market Gate as it has inexplicably come to be called) is well orchestrated in the local press, but as is often the case with propaganda, somewhat fanciful!
In late April, Maple Grove Developments said that the success of the scheme had “surpassed all expectations”. This may well be the case but if it is, then expectations must have been positively subterranean. The opening of Booths has been delayed, the other units are still empty, and Harbinger hears that much of the lauded residential development aimed at ‘young professionals and downsizing couples looking to take advantage of city centre amenities’, has allegedly been sold off to a housing association!
