Good news for town centre

0

NEWS that retail giant Primark is set to open in the town next year will provide a much needed boost to Warrington’s town centre economy.
The new store, which is set to open in Golden Square next year, will attract thousands of new shoppers into the town centre, which will hopefully have a knock on benefit for other town centre businesses.
With two two teenage daughters who used to catch a train into Liverpool to visit Primark -I know first hand how popular this affordable fashion retailer is, especially with young people.
Work will start on opening a new store next year, which will delight thousands of local shoppers who in a recent survey placed Primark at the top of their Warrington retail wish list.
The former Littlewoods store and the existing New Look store will amalgamate to house the new 56,000 sq ft Primark store while New Look will be moving into a brand new concept store, located near H&M within the Shopping Centre, opening early 2013.
With proposals to breathe new life into the Time Square area of the town centre, also scheduled to start next year, things are looking promising for the future prosperity of our town centre.
But more still needs to be done to improve the Bridge Street area of the town, which is the gateway for those entering from the south – and the number of empty buildings is not a welcoming feature, which needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
First impressions are very important – and Bridge Street is not a good first impression of our town.
