i would say between whitebirk ,the arndale center and HBC the three of them have destroyed what was once a thriving town center


for example

dixons and currys used to be located on broadway and i think union street possibly , all that happened was that they moved into the arndale leaving empty shops behind, they then buggered off to whitebirk leaving empty shops in the arndale and also in the town ceter and from then on all that moved in was charity shops and pound shops


once the big boys like currys, british gas ,virgin etc left town the town started to decline
