This time, I saunted from work, through the crown courts entrance at the rear of Debenhams. It is certainly an impressive feat of engineering, as you look down from the 'top floor' - and I was very impressed at the space, but at what cost? The 'upper' floor of the shops is just a massive 'nothing' but open space - and not grassed either, just compacted shale flooring.
It looks very nice, but it is as empty as anything - it's not the sort of place that you would just set up a picnic, looks too posh, but doesn't seem to serve any purpose at all really. Is anything going to be done with this area or is that it? Just a massive expanse of expensive flooring to walk to get somewhere else?
