AFTER discussions that went on well into the night on Thursday in the council chambers, the ambitious £460 million Victoria Square development was finally given the go-ahead on Thursday.
Subject to minor amendments, the 65,000sq ft scheme is to include 391 residential apartments, with a new Marks & Spencer and Boots stores at the base.
Leader of the council John Kingsbury told the News & Mail on Friday morning the outcome was: “A real leap of faith.”
