They should have allowed the Potteries Shopping Centre (I will never not call it that, despite its pointless rebranding) to expand and not wasted time and effort on the rest.<br /><br />I am saying what I said then, the moving of the civic centre will drain out of Stoke what little life it still has. What about the White Star, that's what I want to know. It would end up worse than Burslem. And if it's the city centre you're after, the former Bethesda Chapel near the museum is a really first-rate building.<br /><br />Now, no one considers Dave Conway to be the next Solomon, and there's a lot of opposing to do. The city needs people who are not in that team to do some good vigorous opposing. Thus it is that I wish Labour would get in gear and do some serious business, but useless to deny that they have a problem. <br /><br />*Although to give them their due the 3 is a really first-rate bus tho. And with the old bus station vacated they got space to shoot their filmn in it last week.asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.com
