The exodus to Cooil Rd etc. hasn't just happened for no reason. The sooner DBC wake up to that the sooner they'll have some retail industry to shout about. Even DBC"s HQ fucked off up to the retail park in Braddan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were given a massive new complex up there in exchange for their old dilapidated shithole in Lake Road. This enabled Dandara to develop the area into something much needed and modern...………..OH ! it is a rough car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it’s very ironic that even DTC can’t run its own operations from premises in the town in which it operates. Dandara did a whole pile of those deals to swap out high value prime town centre plots for pretty worthless (initially) spare buildings it had developed on greenfield sites to create momentum they could sell to others.

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 DTC Management have said that footfall in Strand St was down by 4% this Xmas - doesn't sound much but when you factor in multiplier of people x average £ spend per head it's likely a big drop.

I thought much of it (across the road from Tesco's) remained an old dilapidated shithole and a shining example of DBC hypocrisy when it comes to enforcing clean up legislation against favoured others and itself.

Surely you are not surprised. Look how many times Ritchie the terrible announces that DBC will pursue home owners to clean up their properties whilst leaving derelict eyesore sites alone. Double standards don't even come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In various trips to the Strand Centre in the last 12 months I have yet to see more than one or two customers in there at any one time. Usually outnumbered by sales assistants. ETA. Including a couple of days before Xmas just past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
