Here's another thought, just suppose one of our serving Councillor's or perhaps a locally based MP was to follow up on this idea of M&S leaving the area?
Perhaps this is part of a plan?
M&S perhaps don't want to leave the town but, costs to the council are too much, now obviously there can be no favouritism in commerce, (yeah right), so an announcement goes out, shock horror and surprise from the public face of the town trading councillor then a sudden super hero steps forward, stop, decease, says he or she, this is silly we can work it out, M&S are then granted one off never to be repeated concessions, the politician involved is shown to be the hero of the people in a very important year for votes and thus gets publicity and browny points what would we end up with?
The same old M&S and the same old politician, after all whoever gets to keep M&S, from whatever party would be treated well in the press.
I don't mind keeping M&S BUT if this fantasy even comes remotely true, lets not be fooled into keeping the same old politician/s!
Can't Happen?
Won't Happen?
Hasn't someone already mentioned what happened with the old Woolworths site?
Nah, your right, couldn't happen again M&S aren't a local influential family firm.
