Just nice to see people talking about Blyth, lived there for many years, I would imagine for us oldies seeing the old places go is hard, got to go with change. They can’t change my memories.

They need to build shops in the town centre not there. And are they not putting a hotel where the bus station is? Not needed.

Most towns have a premier Inn so seems a good place to put one. I stayed in one in paisley last week and the view was the back end of a car park so this view will be decent.

Personally I think any investment into the area is welcome the place is a disgrace.

Can't get parked there as it is so this is a stupid idea. How will they fill a hotel in blyth? is the one on the harbour ever full? More traffic but no new roads nah just stupid.

I think it's a great idea to be honest. I can't really see a link between building shops etc here affecting the town centre. I mean a bike hire or surf board hire business will never work in the centre of Blyth but would be great right on the beach front.

Also, a family pub will be great after a day on the beach to take the kids for a burger or something. A hotel will bring people to blyth, that can only be a good thing. I'd rather their impression of the town was from the beach instead of the disgrace we now have for a town centre.
