Preserving the beloved gallery element at The Tetley would be a sensible way to anchor local residents to the plans for the building, allowing them to connect emotionally with the vision.

A key aspect of the South Bank strategy is to inject more cultural elements into the city while attracting creative businesses to the area. Currently, the city lacks credible spaces for art, making the preservation of this element a beneficial move on multiple levels. By investing in our art scene, we can draw positive attention to the entirety of Aire Park and enhance Vastin’s reputation as a developer. This initiative would help address some of the negative sentiments expressed on social media following the recent press release about the proposed use of The Tetley building.
