Dawnay Day have done the usual secret canvass of chain shops and restaurants in the City and they have had few or no takers. A similar canvass of cinema
operators got no support. The proposal is dead in the water.

The only reason the planning application is going ahead is so that the applicants, if successful, can sell the venture on for an intensive apartment-building complex. The public opinion survey carried out by LBRUT was a travesty, and its sponsor has been dismissed. The terrace is the people’s choice.
