Regeneration is good, particularly new residential accomodation. I do still think it's madness to grant plans for more retail space, whilst there are empty shops where the old outdoor market was, as well as other empty shops throughout the town centre.

I hope selling off the Market Hall doesn't produce the same effect as the many changes of hands as had on the Victorian arcade, a lot of which is empty, or on very short leases.
