Merchants Quay shopping centre slated for demolition.
The former Merchants Quay shopping centre in Gloucester Docks is set to be demolished. Work could begin on the project as early as this week.
The centre will be replaced by a four-and-a-half storey warehouse-style building, containing 48 flats and shopping and leisure facilities on the ground floor.
The former shopping centre closed in 2007, and the building has stood empty ever since. Original plans were turned down 18 months ago, after being dismissed as adding little to the character of the Docks.
