With my petrol-head son and Matt, I went to the re-launch of the Merc garage/showroom on the A4/Clayponds junction this week. I'm not generally a fan of fossil-fuel consuming tin cans made ever more luxurious for some reason beyond the basic function of getting from A-B when there is no other relieable alternative.
Nevertheless the palce is impressive, with it's vertical tower storing 16 cars, and high-tech service bay. It also employs more people than ever, proving that the Golden Mile is heading back to it's original role of employing many people in skilled roles in iconic buildings. The old Gillette building will open as a hotel in the next few months, behind which there will be a number of high-tech business units. Hopefully we'll see the rest of the vacant sites along the Golden Mile developed before long.
