The boss of a car dealership has said he plans to go on growing his burgeoning business, despite the apparent plans of housing developers to demolish several of its city centre properties.
Robin Cook, managing director of City Motors, responded to an announcement by Sovereign Housing Association that its plans for Castle Court would see it “demolish the existing buildings and structures” to make way for a “high-quality residential development”.
Mr Cook’s firm has several outlets on the Castle Court site including Citroën, Peugeot and Volvo dealerships – all of which look set to be torn down under Sovereign’s vision for a “high-quality public realm with a range of landscaped squares, routes and gardens”.
