Fingers crossed.

Any business coming to Aber is good news but lets hope it's a general store something on the same lines as the old Woolies to bring people in from surrounding villages to shop or browse, Aber seems to have an obession with the sale of food.

Neither a food outlet nor a general store.

Well Iceland is coming my friend saw it on the internet page coming in 2010 and that is a food outlet so what is the other shop that is coming  Does anyone know where Iceland is going please

I would imagine Iceland would go into the old Woolworths site, the other outlet could be Wetherspoons which is due in the new year, allegedly.

We all already know about Wetherspoons and it is not a store. Iceland is electrical and food outlet so I guess it cannot strictly be classed as a food outlet only and therefore no doubt the one that Tchambuli9 is talking about.

It might be although in Hedley's message where he confirmed Spoons is definitely opening he scoteched the rumour that Iceland is moving to the Woolies site.

He does like to twist things a little, maybe not Woolies but Fads or a purpose built unit on some area of land. Talking of which a number of people have commented on the new public place beside the stute if it being used as a pubilc seating area/square why did they not level or terrace the ground of off while the diggers were there it looks dreadful as it is even if they grassed it. What exactly are the plans for this area?

The funding hasn't been acquired for the final act - making it into Foundry Square.
Sometimes I despair, but that's the way some aspects of Local Govt. finance works, cap in hand, bit by bit.

Town appeared to be a little busier today than usual but I guess the weather was fine and it is market day maybe people prefered to shop down town with the kids home from school rather than get them into the car to go elsewhere.
I think almost everyone I met said how depressing the town is now that Woolworths and Fads were closed since a least you had somewhere to browse as well as shop even on a wet day and get you out of the house for an hour and make it worthwhile making a trip to town even if you only wanted something specific

Forgot all about this - should have let you all know a few weeks back.
There's a new clothes shop where TOPPS was.
And a Mobile Phone shop coming to the former Ferraris.
