Yes, and that is why I suggested that those outlets should be knocked down and the land used for something else.

Apparently when a store like Tesco moves in they make a payment to the local area(I can't remember exactly who it goes to) but it applies to anyone......so not exactly a bribe or a bung.....but they would want the town centere to move nearer to them...for obvious reasons.
The new Bus station development cannot even be called an interchange as these are usually like Bury - linked.
