Seemingly, the council did ask Next if they were interested in our town Lilly, but they turned us down (for the time being), probably holding out to see if anything moves on the proposed retail park at Whitebirk.... only my assumptions here though.
Don't think us Next/River Island/Oasis/Warehouse/Jane Norman buyers are in the minority at all. Now acquiring a large immigrant population, and they love these high street stores. Once they are there .. people will buy. Unfortunately, the Council members are not sales people, and do not know how to put forward a decent proposal.
