Demolition is in progress of Cheviot House, for safety purposes a digger is being used to knock the building down instead of using explosives and imploding it.

For some reason I thought Cheviot House was that tall blackish/brown building which you immediately notice when looking towards Washington from Stanley/Dipton. I'm glad that Cheviot House turned out to be something different.

That'll be Durham House. Still occupied by the DWP.

Think that'll be getting knocked down as well at some point I think as some floors are deemed unsafe for usage, mainly the ones nearer the top apparently.

Was reading the Washington Star a week or two back and it seems there are issues with the new cinema.

Tried finding a link to the story and not having much joy.

At the expense of Morrisons at Armstrong I believe. Shame really, as that land (ex-Dickens site) has already sat vacant for 10+ years.

Heard about Morrisons being a bit miffed, but didn't know where their store was planned for.

Half of the written article is a copy/paste exercise from wikipedia, but the video is interesting.
Very surprised nothing more has been made of the anniversary.

Just as a recap - B&M are on the site, which was earmarked for Tesco at Peel.
Rumour has it, B&M are renting from Tesco, who own the site/building.

The leisure centre is progressing well.
Nowt has changed on the site of the proposed Cinema for quite a while now.

I heard a few months back that there were plans in place to knock down Homebase etc across the Road from Mcdonalds etc, and then Build the Proposed Tesco along with a Multi Story Car Park on that Land, As for the Leisure Centre I think might be ahead of Schedule as looks almost complete from I seen when walking past to through Princess Anne Park on my way home Last Week.

The proposed Cinema I havent heard or read anything about that for Months now, nor has the massive pile of rubble which was formerly Cheviot House been cleared, Personally I dont we will see anything happen any time soon, Likewise for the Proposed Morrisons over by B&Q at Washington.

Adam is right. The plan was alwsys to flatten the land occupied by homemade, winsors, etc and build a tesco on stilts, with the car park below. Similar to Ashington asda I think.

There's a few delays, and I believe it ties into prudential's leisure complex at the Galleries (cinema etc). I understand that they're unhappy about tesco having a supermarket so close to the Galleries, as they feel it'll take people away from there.

I have to agree, there's already Asda and Sainsbury's at the galleries, don't need a Tesco's to.

It'd be nice having a supermarket away from the Galleries. Sainsbury's isn't bad, but ASDA ends up full of scratters during the day.
