Shoppers have shared their ambition that the opening of a £4 million project will 'help their town thrive'. The recently finished AMP building at Arnold Market Place will soon be the new home of several start-up businesses as well as the town's Post Office, which will be the first to open its doors to the public on October 13.
"It sounds like it will be supporting local businesses too, which is always good. It looks really impressive, but I suppose it did cost a lot of money. Mr Todd added: "It had become a bit of mess before this was built. People come from the towns and in the city to shop here - I think the wait will be well worth it."
"Now that it is finally finished I'm sure it will be a good thing for the town it's already made a difference. It looks a lot better, but whether the businesses will be successful I have no idea until it gets started." "I would like to thank everyone involved in helping getting this ambitious project over the line, it has taken an colossal amount of work to get this done by Gedling Borough Council staff, G F Tomlinsons and several other partners who all contributed to this project and made it a success. We made a manifesto pledge that we would revitalise the town centre and this will be the jewel in the crown for Arnold.
