[Margaret Pilkington]

There are still people who do shop locally because they have no option......those are the elderly and the infirm.
The elderly often have no access to computers or no interest in them...they cannot pay bills or shop online(and forgive me MargaretR - you are the exception which tests the rule).
The infirm cannot get to places like the Trafford Centre - and probably wouldn't shop there if they could get there.
How do we service the needs of these people?
Why, we move the bus station further away from the market.......a market that doesn't need any help in dying.
The town centre needs pulling together not blowing apart.
