Watford Junction - Shops could be bulldozed for new road
In uk.transport.london Adrian wrote:
That's a reasonably decent sized stretch of large "shed"-style retail. It's not going to be easy to find a similar area of land to repurpose to a similar retail park. Removal of those stores won't exactly be a great loss to the denizens of Watford - there's a TKMaxx in St Albans or Hatfield, there's a Homebase and Staples at Apsley, or alternatives within the big Bushey retail park, but they're all a drive away from North Watford. If they're building 'over the top' of TKMaxx on a flyover, perhaps they could keep TKMaxx underneath? Businesses in railway arches are a fairly common phenomenon, so how about some road arches? Noise could be a problem, but perhaps not if well designed. Or, as they do in Asda, just play loud music to give the customers and staff a headache and distract them from the road noise. Theo |
