It has been a welcome addition
Hope is building that a Nottinghamshire town's new market can return it to being a shopping destination. New businesses and shoppers at the recently opened AMP building at Arnold Market Place have expressed their wishes for it to contribute to a thriving future for the town.
Ms Cross said: "I would like to think we have brought something to the town. A lot of people are coming and having a look around." "It's different and that is a good thing. It is up to the community now to use it." Sara Burton, owner of Market Place Tea Rooms, added: "I'm Arnold born and bred myself - it has a good community but it needed a bit of a lift.
Locals were optimistic about the project bringing something new to Arnold's high street. Margaret Loach, 82, from Arnold said: "I hope that it will help Arnold get back to what it used to be. We'll have to see when all the shops are open, but it has already brightened Arnold up a bit. Mrs Foster added: "It is a lot better than what was here before, but it has been a long time coming. I think it will do well when all the shops are fully set up and settled."
