Well, it's been nearly three months since the opening of the new Clay Cross Tesco, and now it's like it's always been there. Activity on the site has slowed right down. A new car parking area close to the town centre is in operation, and the new Spiritualist Church is finished. It has a lovely Peter Maris sculpture on the rear wall facing Bridge Street. Peter has been beavering away in his local workshop on more sculptures and panels (see picture).

Once planning issues have been sorted out, we expect the second phase of the development to start in the Spring. in the meantime, NEDDC are working hard at attracting shoppers into Market street - there's a lovely mural (see picture) on the access road to the store.

In the meantime, if you want to see some more of my images, Allison Westray Chapman from NEDDC has kindly agreed to put some of them up at the Coney Green Business Centre in Clay Cross. Their website is at http://www.coney-green.co.uk/.

Coney Green Business Centre offers a friendly reception service to meet and greet visitors, staffed between 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. It also offers serviced office suites and workshops, industrial units and excellent conference and meeting facilities.
