  • Yeah bit if they had left it as it was you would be slagging it off saying the place is a dump. Anyway from what I can tell they only redeveloped the carpark and market square, personally I think it looks much better. I think they should go further and redevelop what is left of the old walks shopping centre, maybe something like the new Malls that isn't closed off at night.

  • @joeyhumbo I remember that! That smell used to make me feel really sick

  • @LolliAnime i agree.. but fuck the feds around that centre.. was arrested twice in there and i didnt do anything.. and got charged with criminal damage to the bus stop.. dickheads. :L

  • they are making new upgrades now mamy you should add pics of that

  • Actually...in hindsight the old town was a bit of a masterpiece ...

  • They should just have taken down the multi-storey car park and left the town centre as it was.. The old town centre had much more of a community feel to it compared the corporate shell that Festival Place is ....

  • @wappid And it really winds me up when they play it WAAAAYYY too fast like this.

  • I prefer the old town. This one's poncey, same as all the others.

  • Erm, so depressing. I remember the Wimpy in New Market Square, Angies Nightclub and I worked at Thirlwall And Allen next to Husseys and across the road from Giffords Cycles. The new town centre is an abortion and wants levelling by a Lancaster bomber bouncing explosive objects at Festival Place in time to the theme to the Dambusters.

  • Festival Place is dull, bland and generic. There was more character in the old town.

    Now Basingstoke is just like Reading-Lite.
