Neighbours are pleased the site is finally being used
The announcement of shops being created at a new development in Nottinghamshire has residents feeling excited for the town's future. The new Beaumond Cross development in Newark has a Travelodge with 66 rooms and three commercial properties.
Housekeeper, Sharon Corcoran, 61, said: "It's much nicer to see the building being used than standing empty. It makes the town seem a bit more inviting."I think we have a nice town centre, so it would be nice to use the buildings we already have instead of moving outside the centre." He feels that the town needs more "men's clothing shops and sports shops." When asked her thoughts on the new development that replaced the former hotel, a Newark resident who did not wish to be named added: "It's a shame that it was left to go into disrepair but I do like having the travel lodge in the centre of town.
Housekeeper, Tracey Wood, 57, said: "We need more shops to be opened, particularly clothes shops and shoe shops." When asked how she felt about a coffee shop and charity shop opening in the development, Tracey said: "I don't think we need another one, there's plenty around the town.
