manxy 1,441 Posted February 15, 2018 I think Travelodge has picked a prime spot. Whether this will be a kick in the teeth for shops currently along Strand St, then we'll have to wait and see Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTeapot 4,622 Posted February 15, 2018 I don't believe it. If it gets built at all it will be a 30 bed Travelodge with 40 apartments, and maybe a two screen cinema. But good luck to them, something needs to happen. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guzzi 1,141 Posted February 15, 2018 Good, I hope it happens. It would be excellent to have a seven screen cinema. Travelodge less so, but then I live here so it's pretty irrelevant. As regards buses, don't they all just stop at the side of the road? Why would that need to change? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plankton1906 3 Posted February 15, 2018 The buses will run along the front, much as they do now. Not sure the retail units will appreciate the smell of diesel fumes as the engines are left running whilst the drivers play on their phones. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The island has trouble filling the cinemas they have. What makes you think a seven screen cinema will fare well? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
