Mr Roger Hunt, chairman of the New Brighton Businessmen’s Association, has welcomed the opening of The Bam as the first set of premises specifically designed for the new pedestrian shopping precinct in Seaview Road. The main street shopping mall has been mooted for 10 years and will become a reality next year. Mr Hunt hopes The Barn will be a forerunner of several similar shopping arcades associated with the mall. He expects considerable changes to take place in shopping premises in Seaview Road in preparation for the mall in the next 12 months. Mr P. D. Dunbar, who is
a City Councillor and a shopkeeper of long standing in the New Brighton district, said he welcomed The Barn as an advanced development of the type which he felt would help to make New Brighton more attractive as a shopping area to people from other districts. He recalled that he had been reported several years ago as predicting that the shopping area’s future lay in the development of shopping complexes of that nature, where the smaller boutique-type shops could offer variety and charm to complement the strong showing of major stores and supermarkets in the area.
