I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the recent resurfacing in Northbrook St - for some reason I thought the brick pavers would be extended up past the entrance to Parkway. A bit of new tarmac and some white lines is not what I was expecting.

It makes the decision to demolish listed buildings in order to have the entrance opposite West Street even dafter than I thought in the past - surely it would have been better and safer to have the main entrance leading out of the pedestrianised area?

btw -

was in Harper's new store today. It is a temporary store, looks like they have taken the lease just up until Xmas, if the lighting & decor is anything to go by.

Harpers?

Harper's Bazaar - xmas shop in the old Dixon's shop. Or an American fashion magazine.

it's temporary but may become permanent, that's what I was told when I handed my CV in. So I Guess if they do stay it will be done properly.
