You need to check out Wendy's before you go making judgements.First time in a while, what the **** has happened to the town centre? Even Bedford & Baker Street look run down now.
I genuinely had no idea it’d gotten so bad.
Dear me, do we have to have one of these isn't boro rubbish posts every few days?
Which paradise do you live in by the way?
Unfortunately too many people like to bury their heads in the sand, has been the case for years, until there is acknowledgement and only small changes the decline will continue.
I know not everyone is happy with it but with look at what they are doing in Stockton, making major changes to completely change the town centre, might not work but at least they have a plan and are doing something rather that nothing
Renovation of The Crown will need serious Private investment to renovate and the expense will eye watering.Apologies, I didn’t mean to offend. I love this place, it’s sad to see. Genuinely just an inquiry into what’s going on, I saw the Crown fenced over and doesn’t look like anyone’s working to renovate it.

Did it have upper floors, other than the DJ booth? (Which I did used to make several visits to most nights).Renovation of The Crown will need serious Private investment to renovate and the expense will eye watering.
It’s really sad as I used to Love The Crown but 80% of the building was a dump (upper floors) even when it was open.
It was before covid, handful of quirky little micropubs and what not. Many didn't survive.Aye, one of the lads I was out with told me Stockton’s decent these days. I refused to believe it but will have to go and check it out.
There is a devlopment plan for the Crown but it is part of Middlesbrough Development Corporation, no longer Middlesbrough Council, at this point the plans are confidential.Renovation of The Crown will need serious Private investment to renovate and the expense will eye watering.

Stockton's been slowly improving for years. Starting with the development of Prince Regent Street.Yes, they've literally bulldozed Stockton. If that doesn't improve it nothing will!

I had friends who worked there and even worked a week there but quickly left as they never employed enough bar staff so the busy nights were horrendous. Wasn’t worth the minimum wage at the time!Ah ok. Yes I definitely never went up there.
