This week, Queensgate Shopping Centre has applied to temporarily close bays 10a to 20 of the Bus Station in early 2020 to create a safe space to construct the cinema and new restaurants, which will be built on top of the existing shopping centre. The creation of the extension is due to complete ahead of Christmas 2021 and during this period there will be increased activity with cranes, heavy plant and construction personnel working to complete the exciting development.
