It is a big bugger though, I can see it clearly from Normy town centre.

Yes it is, seems to get bigger by the day (bit off sympathy if ngbc has to look at that all day) even the anti stadium brigade must be miffed at it.

And what benefit to the community as far as jobs go as its fully automated.

Whoever got that through planning played a blinder.

I believe there are around 300 jobs involved overall, but how many of them are drivers I don't know.

We could yet receive benefit from the advent of NewCold, albeit it was given PP is suspect circumstances.

I think we all hope it's appearance improves when the cladding is put on, and yes, I a, embarrassed by association with it!

Someone was telling me that when it's finished it will blend in with the surroundings and barely noticeable I hope the people to do this do not get a job with the S.A.S.

To be fair a similar massive structure was built at the 41 estate a few years back, it's not half as noticeable since the cladding was put on.

Compared to when it was just the steel work. Naturally if you live next to it blending in with the surroundings wouldn't matter a jot.

I just find it incredible that the secretary of state will 'apparently' accept being duped.

Thanks for the trade centre.

Am I missing something here ? I thought the only item built up a the site was the Newcold food freezer building.

I think NGB4C is comparing the Tesco build to the size of the former Trade centre's in New York.

Yeah - I see what you mean Jinge.
I bet "the whole of Methley" are unconsolable now that they don't get on with NGB4C like they used to.
