the potential is there it just needs the powers that be to 1. realise it and 2. pull there fingers out and make it work
there seems to be so much negativity towards this town yet no-one is standing up and doing anything about it. maybe the residents should be standing together and acting rather than moaning. there is no such thing as it can't be done or it won't work only we can't be bothered to make it work.
shops and market stalls will only open and stay open if the people support them and spend their money in them. it's no good doing your weekly shop in tescos and then wondering why we haven't got any local butchers/greengrocers!
