Ann Summers, please tell me you are joking! I can just see the kids walking by that everyday on the way to school.

Glad they are pulling it down, I saw a young boy on the roof of it last year, very worrying.

It's definitely a Matalan as I have heard from a very good source in the Matalan planning department that it has bought the land.:D

Planning permission was granted a long time ago for the building to be made into oap flats. the fencing is around it as it is unsafe and bricks etc has been falling and hitting cars.

Matalan is going next to Tesco. Richards garage area is not big enough The council are building oap flats in Richards garage area.

Fran have you seen the planning permission for these OAP flats. At the February meeting of the Community Council the building was discussed then with someone from Pentland Housing who said they would not be developing that particular building. No mention was made that the council were doing it either. With councillors at the meeting I think some mention would have been made about it if it was going to happen.

The Building is just about down now.
It is not going to be Flats or any thing else at the moment .There is NO Planing permission on the site and it still belongs to the Richard Family

The old Pet Shop in Thurso is now gone also. Don't know what's going to replace it but at a guess I would say housing/flats as this seems to be the trend.

It was in the local paper a couple of years ago that the council were going to build flats for the elderly there, as we joked at the time that they wouldnt have far to go to bingo!!! I will find out more on monday.

The Council should build another High School and let the contractors profit from the old one, turn it into flats[lol] They'd make a few bucks....
