Print Village


Recommended Posts

Hi All,


Does anyone have any information on Print Village on Chadwick Road / Lyndhurst Way? Specifically why is it named Print Village - is it to do with the use of the industrial units now, or does the location / area have historical use as a printing house for example?


Thanks in advance for any info you may have.

This site used to be a brewery, I think called Gordon's

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.
