The aim is to fill The Arcade with independent, craft-oriented retailers alongside high quality cafés and bars.
In line with encouraging community involvement in regeneration and economic prosperity, the council is exploring the possibility of leasing The Arcade to a local community business, the Arcade Group, which has organised a Summer Gathering event on Saturday, August 14, at The Arcade from 1-4pm to explain the project and get local people involved.
