What Friargate South could look like post-revamp

Friargate South - which runs from the Flag Market to Ringway - is due for multi-million pound street works to try touplift it.

Currently, there are 17 empty shops in a 200m stretch clustered around the St George's Shopping Centre and former Wilkos store area.
