preston's outdoor market which is very similar to what we used to have still thrives amongst the shopping centers and retail parks
when our old market was destroyed most of teh stall holders shut up shop for good and those that stayed operated from blue steel containers dumped on broadway for many months.Peopel dont want to come and see such an awfull sight so went elsewhere and most likely now still go elsewhere.The grass was greener on the other side for shoppers and i guess they are still happy there.
our outdoor market is now a joke and a shambles and in no way measures up to the old one in any way what so ever.It has no charecter and basically sells tat that you can buy cheaper in the pound shop around the corner.The few shops that are left are stuck between charity shops or have to hope people arnt detered from their doorway by the junkies that doss around town.
if only someone would take affirmitive action..
i dunno like maybe take away the benches or something hahahahahaha (sory couldnt resist)
