Ditto!
Its pathetic, all they want to do is make more shops to get more people to come shopping.
They will have nowhere to park & will not bother coming back.
The residents will lose even more as less funds will be available for other local use.
Some local shops that are to be knocked down are likely to just give up & leave rather than pay high rates for new premises.
I want to move.

Someone in the planning department must have gone mental or something. The area they are planning to build on (the Standish street area) has already been turned into quite a decent little shopping area with all sorts of shops catering for almost every taste concievable. This has took quite a bit of investment, from the council and from the shop owners themselves, and now they are on about throwing all that investment down the drain.
