'We want more cafes'
Shoppers and businesses in Nelson have had a look at plans for a brand-new Pendle Rise shopping centre and given their early thoughts.
Pegasus Group. a planning consultancy, has been commissioned to produce plans and visual impressions of how the new Pendle Rise could look. It has submitted a full planning application to the borough council's planning department. Councillors on the Nelson Area Committee will take a first look at the plans at their meeting on Monday, July 31.
Grocery co-owner Hoshyar Aland said: "This Pendle Rise plan looks nice to me. It'd be really interesting if they could do that. It would be good to have clothes shops like New Look and JD Sports." "There was a milkshake and ice cream cafe opposite Pendle Rise for a while, which was aimed at younger people and open in evenings, but it's now closed. It would be good to have more things like that - cafes for younger people, also for families and children. McDonald's has been a success and so has Beans & Buns. Young people need places to go.
"In some ways, I wish the architecture changes of the 1960s and '70s had never happened because Nelson knocked-down some of the old core of the town. But that was modernism. We've now had this big core site for years. Having said that, there's the new McDonald's at the old Pendle Rise bus station site, which I think is a success.
