It alos has lots of free parking right on the main street, which , if you are trying to get your shopping done in your lunch hour really is a bonus.

This is true, this was why Atherstone went for bookshops and Saxmundham went for food shops. You and gayle should be councillors. open minded forward thinkers are whats needed on your council to sort your shopping centers out.
