Norton Retail Park - St James

[nikki-red 308]

The Heeley site was sold by a corporate pension fund to investment management firm Mayfair Capital. It comprises six main units, a Costa Coffee 'pod' and 289 parking spaces. The remaining tenants are Boots, Currys PC World and Matalan. Mayfair confirmed the park was staying, and also dispelled local speculation that the land would be turned into housing.

 

"The park isn't for sale and isn't being converted into residential," a spokesman said.

They need to get the vacant units let quickly.

 

I would say if one more of the big 3 ,Boots ,Currys or Matalan go then it will kill it.

 

Its a shame because it took years to get that park established.

There seems to be an Iceland Food Warehouse opening on there at some point, they're just fitting the shop for now.

st james is brilliant best thing to happen to the south side of the city not big enough though

The only frustrating bit is how tight it is to drive around and turn in/out of junctions. Surprisingly there is no cash machine.

The layout of the parking has not been thought out and is too tight. On the entrance at the end of the road you can’t turn left without cutting across to the other side and often there is traffic waiting to turn.

i think st james retail park is the best,but as you all say its a bit closed in for cars

[scousemouse 10]

.................the car parking is awful. Spaces too small, and if you are at the Aldi end, if you are not aware of the exit, you have to be careful no to miss it. There is bound to be a accident sooner or later, particularly near Christmas when it will be manic!.

mcdonalds would kill it there none in that side of city

Never say never.

 

Drakehouse Retail Park had the bright idea (????) of allowing a Starbucks drive through in the middle of the car park creating less parking and more congestion.....
