THE latest part of the town centre Glass Works redvelopment was unveiled on Thursday.
Mayor, Coun Caroline Makinson cut the ribbon and said said the new shopping and leisure destination was ‘just the beginning’ of great things to come for the town centre.
More attractions in the £200m Glass Works will be opening over the next six months but Thursday’s event marked the official opening of stores such as Next, Sports Direct and TK Maxx.
Restaurants, bars, a bolwing alley and multi-screen cinema are due to open shortly.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
