00:00 So we're at Dickens Street Car Park and I'm standing in front of a blue hoarded area here
00:07 that sits right in the middle of the car park. This is owned by Lidl and it was disposed
00:11 of by the council in 1988. So we encouraged Lidl to get into a joint venture with a developer,
00:16 they subsequently have done and they've come forward with a mixed use regeneration development
00:21 proposal for the whole of this area including the Wellington Street Car Park that sits just
00:24 across the road here. The development will comprise of a new Lidl store, a care home,
00:30 a family restaurant, some affordable housing and some private sector housing and it will
00:35 regenerate this whole area which is very incoherent and is desperately in need of an uplift just
00:40 to raise aspirations and to make this environmentally much, much, much more improved for the local
00:46 community.
