These buildings are just a few examples of that deterioration and it’s sad to see. Just a couple of doors away from each other near Gynn Square are two perfectly sited hotel buildings which have been left boarded up and derelict with no sign of improvement. But it’s not just the hotel trade, run down shops and cafes are aplenty. They have been left locked up, some with their interiors in tact as if the owners have turned the key and walked away.
