TK Maxx are denying it and yes a Primark would have been better.

In reply to Angie. Hi Angie, it's never ever cast in stone, but yes an application has gone in to TVBC. The work will involve a larger refurbishment of the retail park. Some say it's good news, for others it's bad, but least we have a business who wants to be here taking over the unit of one that doesn't want to be here.

In reply to Angela De Sandfort Shortell. Sorry to hear this Angela. Smart4 who are the agents I believe are involved have been trying to dispose of this Harvey's store for some time. I would prepare for Harvey's to close around summer 2015. That said, as some consolation, there will be new retail jobs available at TK Maxx an the Approach scheme. Let me know if you want any further information, I will do my best to help. Mike

In reply to Christina Jones.

I have to say Christina, I do fear the impact that TK Maxx opening out of town will have on the town centre. Should permission be given for an extension of the mezzanine in the unit in question, the new floor space would be equal to approximately 10 units in The Chantry Centre… I have absolutely no doubt that TK Maxx will be a great success here, however, I am concerned that this will be to the detriment of the town centre. Lots of floor space, ease of access and free parking are very difficult to compete with….

As part of TK Maxx’s arrival, a refurbishment of the retail park will also be carried out. This will involve the creation of 7 new car parking spaces, re-cladding of the warehouse units, the creation of 3 cycle spaces, and general redecorating works. TK Maxx are looking to open in 2015.
