The BBC loves a story. Today they announced that Three Counties Radio is to move from Luton to Dunstable early next year - and not just Dunstable, but "the heart of Dunstable's cultural centre".
They're taking a lease on Unit 4 at the Grove Park development. Unit 5 next door is still available, after the failure of a Chinese restaurant not long after the complex was completed in 2007. Another unit is up for grabs - Italian-style eaterie Adessso, which climbed to the giddy heights of 24 out of 77 restaurants in the Dunstable area on TripAdvisor, closed its doors in January this year.
Apart from the 750-seat Grove Theatre (tonight showing Godzilla, 12A), the only businesses still in operation across the site are The Gary Cooper, a Wetherspoons pub (yes, Hollywood's Gary Cooper went to school in Dunstable) and the Cookies & Cream Nightclub (tonight £1 entry, £1 drinks and £1 cloakroom before midnight). If that's not cultural enough for you, there's always ASDA over the road. Or Go Bowl in the Leisure Centre.
