The revised start date has resulted in an estimate of £8.397m being re-profiled into 2017/2018. The additional site investigations have reduced the risk to the project, providing greater certainty to delivering within timescales and cost. The works therefore are still scheduled to complete end of 2017 with no funding implications.

This involves construction of a new Aldi store. The owners have been trying to redevelop that land for years without success. At one point a Travelodge was on the cards.

Had some awesome nights in there over the years, and to be honest, the refurbishment has done it a lot of good. They seem to get good crowds in with boxing and such.

Also wonder what store it will be in Newcastle? Kingston Park or something probably.
