How are you? Have you managed to get out in the breaks in rain recently? I don’t know about you but when I’m out for a walk I feel a bit of a fraud. Not because I don’t often go out for walks, but because we live here I tend to be under-dressed compared to others I pass.
These people tend to be kitted up properly in boots, thermals, walking sticks and woolly hats, and me, well I feel like I practically stepped out there in slippers.
Several news articles have popped up this week that I thought it worth talking about, starting off with:
Plans have been submitted for Park 66 which contain KFC, drive-through Costa Coffee and gym. – 1:15
I don’t know if you ever visit Park 66 just off the M66 motorway, but I quite often nip into the ASDA petrol station on my way home to fill up. I spoke last year about the old cinema at Park 66 that had recently been demolished and mused on what the plans might be for the site.
The site became unused back in 2010 when the Cinema closed and the retail units on site shut up shop too leaving pretty much just the McDonalds and ASDA on their own.
These plans have now been submitted to Bury Council and they include the following:
KFC
JD Sports
a gym
and a DRIVE THRU Costa.
