MAY I, through the Gazette, awaken the people of Devizes to what is a major planning consultation taking place as to the future of the North Gate site in Devizes at the rear of the Black Swan and Dillons.
This will be the last opportunity to enhance the shopping facilities adjacent to the Market Place for a long time to come.
Having talked to many shoppers to find out what would best please them, as I suspected, most would like to see a covered walkway or shopping mall in Devizes as is the case in many other towns. I have advocated this for a long time and I am sure that a mall/walkway linking The Wharf car park through to the town centre via Snuff Street would be a great start to a greater shopping centre in the future.
We need to take parking pressure from the town centre.
What better way to fully utilise the Wharf car park, giving it a real shopper friendly future?
