“Campaigners tell Rayner to block demolition of M&S Flagship”
In yesterday Times newspaper, there was the above titled article and also a letter to the Editor from campaigners against the building’s demolition. “There is now an unanswerable case for the government to act in accelerating the industry’s shift to reusing buildings”.
M&S are offering pathetic excuses for the building not being fit for purpose, including “blocked lavatories”! M&S stores have characterless interiors, nobody cares about these being demolished or restyled, it is the exterior of the building that needs to be saved.
The article says “other developers have refurbished rather than demolished 3 other historic buildings in the area: the former House of Fraser also built in the 1930s, the former Debenhams from the 1950s, and the old Topshop at Oxford Circus, which Ikea is converting into its city store”.
Angela Rayner is being urged to stop the demolition. I hope she does.
