Derby

Just seen on the BBC website that the Tesco that was planned for Derby City Centre is not going to go ahead. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/7517757.stm

The store was going to be on the site of the old Debenhams, which has been empty since Debenhams moved to the new Westfield Centre in October. The article also mentions the impact of the Westfield Centre on other city centre shops - a significant number are now empty - and the effect that this is having on the city centre as a whole... Particularly interesting when you consider this alongside Derby Cityscape Ltd's Masterplan.

What do you think?
