Katie Chambers makes a good point. At this time there is 4 organizations/individuals using the arches. One is supported by NGHA and installed with funding and free electric power The Men shed offenders group to assist the directors yacht boat maintenance. A part time furniture 6 months Thailand tourist guy/men shed relative. A bicycle project a welder artist and an art gallery. NGHA claim to have a lease on two arches at the new walkway reason not known.
Great idea - the grassy space in front could also be transformed into a community garden or other outdoor community space - maybe a food market/food stalls. Would need to ensure the arches spaces go to groups/organisations/businesses that benefit the community and not just random rubbish like key cutting shops/pound shops/carpet shops.
