Lads,

Have a friend coming in from abroad today.

Does one get the leap card at the SPAR in Terminal 2 or at that one shop under the car park?

Not sure what they are trying to do with Newmarket Square, but it seems like they are trying to turn it into a Smithfields style "attraction". They've elimninated all parking and put in benches and areas to gather. I assumed they would be trying to allow it to be a market space, but was walking through last night and there were gangs of teens sitting around smoking and large dogs off the lead roaming.

Anyone have any insight into what the plans are? I fear another Weaver Square type issue where they tried to make something nice and it was taken over by aggressive teenagers.

It has gone downhill since the co-op was forced out. Could be a nice place but there seems to be no plans and no context for the "upgrade"
