Interesting snippet from recent Marple Civic Society meeting: "SI drew attention to Kirklands Developments proposal for Chadwick Street which was taken in-house by the council and subsequently put on indefinite hold. She referred to her work to interest M&S in the site. A positive response was received by M&S, and council officers are now working up a project to offer to M&S".
M&S food store on Chadwick Street really would revitalise Marple's shopping centre, I believe.
