bhs had 163 stores. a0 are still vacant, although half of these do have plans in place. the challenges are often financial. it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time to turn large—format space into new uses. we need to be heading towards mixed uses. the demand for retail space is far, far less than it was. in smaller towns, it's far harder to make the numbers add up. in dumfries, debenhams was the biggest shop. gosh, it's a lot bigger on the inside. there has not been much interest in it, unfortunately, not so far. a lot of space? it's a big unit, and this isjust one floor. scott runs a company which has bought these empty shops, bringing in new tenants through donations and publicfunding. how much would you like to get your hands on that building? if we had the funding, absolutely we could take on a building like this. i think it would make a great small boutique cinema. with maybe a food court
