Basements are sooooooo hard to let as standalone units though. About the only thing I could see would be a gym / pool - either a budget-ish one, or attached to the aforementioned hotel.

I can't see it as a retail unit, and noone wants to work in a basement office.


A nightclub/dungeon/swingers’ club would be perfect.

What about a nightclub with dungeon AND swingers' club?

Cardiff City Centre Post Office is closing and will be replaced by a concession within WHSmith on Queen Street.

Possibly a good solution for both retailers as WH Smith sales have apparently been falling and they are looking at closing stores.

That really is taking the biscuit if the capital city of Wales has a concession in WH Smith as it's main post office. The Post Office in Queen's Arcade is a really good branch and replaced both The Hayes PO and Churchill Way. If it goes into WH Smith it'll be a shadow of it's current self.

There's a concession opening in Spar on St. Mary St so maybe that's meant to soften the blow, will probably be a one window job though.

There's nothing wrong with that Post Office, it's always busy and I really thought it worked well with the system they had. Bloody shame that it's going. Who's decision was that?

That's not going to stand out too much unfortunately.

Bristol's main Post Office in The Galleries faces the same fate along with around 40 other branches in large towns and cities across the UK.

Looks as though the future of Howells is yet to be decided...
