IT'S a answer on the lips of most who live in Southampton: What should happen to the city's derelict Debenhams store?

Well, we asked and you have certainly answered.

From a concert venue, a swimming pool, or even a bus station, the answers have been wide and varied for what should happen next to the Queensway store.

Suggestions of bringing back Southampton's much-loved former ice rink were also put forward.

But what do you think?

Debenhams closed its remaining stores in May this year. The brand is available online only now after being bought by retailer Boohoo.
