I walked through the arndale the other day - looking very shabby and many empty units.

I try and never go into the Arndale unless I have to.

I don’t like bland shopping centres (I don’t even like the word Mall).

I’d prefer if it were flattened and a more natural street scape was created. Shops, yes, many of the same ones, but not just joblot-under-one-architecturally-poor-roof.

One thing I’d let them off with is if they built a bigger version of Barton Arcade.

Can you imagine the quality of building demolished for that bloody arndale centre! Almost criminal.

There's images knocking around....enough to make you weep. It's terrible and even with the new interior it's just a monolithic lump that has landed on the city.

That was the heart of the city as well. The arndale will be changed radically in the next 20 years. Not tall enough for the centre of a city. But buildings on a par with York shambles were destroyed for this monstrosity.

Something that's being concieved or just a hunch?
I'm sure it's making the 'mall owners' a fair bit of money so can't seem them letting go...but it's a fortresss. Knackered pretty much around all sides too (that High Street section ffs).

Council have an aspiration to transform. Is ambitious but vital. Will happen in next ten years.

I don't know if this is the right place for this but the foodcourt in the Arndale is an eye sore, it's kicked off twice on my last two visits.

Why? What did you do / say?
