I think Westfield are building a mall on the knocked down broadway thats what I figure from the signs as you are diverted all over the place!! It will be a lovely town centre with all the green spaces etc
I never understand though in the regeneration projects like this how they can so conveniently forget the existing 'town centre' The Arndale will be redundant surely when everything is regenerated, with tenants forced to go under or move to the new 'area' with higher rents! Progress though, hey.

Progress though, hey.Happens all the time. Centre of Dudley is a ghost town full of rundown shops (mostly of the pound variety), high street banks, cash convertors, closed pubs and charity shops. Any link to the fact that Merry Hill mega-shopping Mall is now only a few miles away.
Rotherham exactly the same...Meadow Hall a few miles away.
These shopping malls are ripping the hearts out of towns and cities as the money follows, leaving crap choices for people who are unable to travel.
Not that I'm a fan but Bill Bryson urged the UK not to follow the example of the USA in building out of town shopping malls for this very reason....did we listen? Of course not.
