Construction work on the new Debenhams department store is well underway at Parkway. The two lift shafts for the new 77,508 sq ft, full range department store have now been completed. Work has also commenced on the steel structure for the store, which will be three times larger than the existing Debenhams store in the Kennet Shopping Centre. |

Still no movement on digging out the new car park though. Can't wait for that bit....it should cheer us all up no end. |

This is taken from their latest press release: "Excavation of the car park area will begin in September, as the dewatering of the site progresses well." |

A bit weird....like building a house before you put the foundations in.
I do hope the dewatering doesn't have to be reprofiled. |

Are they dewatering already and if so, where is it going. If and when they pump it into the Kennet, I suspect we might see a different colour flowing towards Reading. There's a lot of water down there I suspect. |

I wonder with Debenhams moving that it will kill off the Kennet Centre? |

I wonder who will occupy the current Debenhams unit in Kennet Shopping once they've moved to Parkway. Some giant 'discount' shop, I assume. Primark, perhaps? |

Perhaps that is why Wilkinson are not interested in the old Woolworths. |

I do know that Primark is popular in Newbury. |

It's certainly popular in Reading. So much so that it's almost impossible to navigate the pavements of West Street without being run into by a fashion conscious, psychopath of a mother dragging a number of her unfortunate offspring in a pushchair. |

Kennet Shopping if you please. And IMO it died a long long time ago. |

You are probably right, judging by the amount of chavs carrying Primark bags around Christmas time on the trains. I always chuckle to myself that somebody is going to wake up on Christmas day to a lovely Primark sweater, t-shirt, jeans, trousers, socks etc etc............happy f**king Christmas! |

So bad you had to post it twice. If Primark took a premises in Newbury, wherever it was, it would be the busiest place in town. I've shopped in there, so have many people I know and none of them are, as you so kindly put it, chavs. I'd rather have a Christmas gift from Primark than a grumpy nature. |
