Im sure if they build flats there, they will be snapped up in no time. Not so such about any retail ventures there, unless its a convenience store or something similar, to catch the commuter foot fall.

With the Co-Op disappearing when the redevelopment starts, it is an interesting time for the section of road. As for the telephone exchange, it would be nice to see something done with it, even just to make it easier on the eye. Will probably look even worse when the Co-Op is redeveloped.
