Businesses that were located on Wheeler Gate look set to return as building work is completed on the street just off Market Square. The restoration work, which started over a year ago, is almost complete with some stores being painted ready for potential new businesses.
The VPZ Vape shop and B Sweet store are set to return although some shopkeepers are still confused about what will happen to the properties. The restoration work is the result of a £700,000 funding from Historic England in association with the City Council to preserve the traditional Grade II buildings.
The building work is a year over schedule after being set to finish in August 2021 but it is now scheduled to be completed in August 2022. This is due to Glendine Properties who managed the property going into administration, covid difficulties and also the need for some additional work.
