sean344 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I read somewhere August 2017 so got a while yet. As much as I want it to open I think the novelty will soon wear off when it's on your doorstep Edited May 25, 2016 by sean344 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want it to open I think the novelty will soon wear off when it's on your doorstep Doubt it. The road network has to be redesigned first and then installed before they can start building the new IKEA. It's my understanding the designs have not been agreed yet.

the fonz Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's my understanding the designs have not been agreed yet. That is true but I don't think it will be long before they are. I heard summer 2017, so August 2017 might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it will be but that was stated last year. For all we know the process is being held up by continued redesigns to fit in with the mirade of demands made by the council.highways agency/service providers etc etc. The area does seem to be 'waiting' for something to happen.

jimmyt101 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 They were advertising for staff last week on one of the job sites. If memory serves it was some sort of trainer role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bargepole23 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 All this excitement for a furniture shop. Cheap, flat pack stuff at that. Great for those it provides jobs for, but is it really so important?? How many times do you visit the other Ikeas in a year? How many times a year when this one is built?
