steve68   66 #37 Posted June 15, 2018 I saw this and I thought it meant flats above the Hillsborough barracks. That would be a good idea and that shopping centre needs it, it’s desperate for footfall. Not sure it’s a good idea at the exchange.  The Exchange desperately needs fixing, the owners must be thinking its best away for them to incorporate something very costly into a profit redevelopment making a few million, I'm not convinced it's not been publicised enough to the local community, only Hillsborough forum on Facebook have shared it.  Thers no notices around the Exchange itself or the unit the exhibit is happening in.  ---------- Post added 15-06-2018 at 08:10 ----------  Not enough Hi-Rise Flat's in hilborough....make it a 'Little london'...  I not missing:D Big London.

Badlittlepup   10 #41 Posted June 16, 2018 Whats Exchange please  If they’re also adding a few extra shops and parking I am in favour. As long as we get something back like!  Wish they would put some flats in the barracks though, liven the shops up down there and get a bit more custom in. It could be really nice there if they smartened it up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

little miffy   10 #47 Posted June 16, 2018 I don't quite understand where these flats will be. From earlier posts it seems they will be built actually on top of the shops in the exchange but then bradfield road is mentioned too. Can anyone advise? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks  The PR company handling the exhibit sent out some small notices of their exhibit, it has a mockup photo, the blue panels that currently sit above the Wilko store would be balcony apartments overlooking Bradfield Road.
