CHANGES are already being made to the plans for Kingston Mill following comments made by people who visited the latest exhibition.

Taywood Homes gave townspeople the chance to see its plans for the site at an exhibition in the Riverside Inn last week.

Town councillor Malcolm Hewson said: "There appears to be particular concern at what people are calling a 1950s department store on the waterfront.

"There is also concern that the landing point for a river foot-bridge should be on the Town Bridge side of the library in order for it to be a practical pedestrian route."

Miss Jones said although the plans showed space for the bridge, a town project, behind the library, Taywood would allow for it wherever it is wanted.

Commenting on the exhibition, a spokesman for Taywood Homes said: "It was very busy, too busy for us to count people, and we had lots of comments. Some people wrote a whole page.

"People were very interested in the detail, but the big building on the riverside was universally disliked. We rang the architect on the first day to tell him."
