Closing its doors in the city centre permanently at the end of next month.
Despite negotiations with the Council on trying to save its future here.😔
 
It’s a shame, 😞 I do blame it on the way public transport into the city centre has changed, also the poor parking. Anyone struggling with mobility issues are always going to take the easier option and choose where they can get near.

When I was a nipper, used to get a bus home from town, right outside BHS on Princess Way, which I guess would be directly opposite where Slaters is now, and it was absolutely thriving then.
 
The failed FTR bendy bus experiment ruined the city centre with those one way systems that halved passing traffic on streets like Mansel Street. No wonder Studio 95 closed...
