As I said earlier in the thread I did my bit for the switch on by opening by opening late to at least make it look like the town centre retailers have some interest. I knew what the outcome would be but as I said, I wouldn't have the right to comment if I just sat back and did nowt. You know you are up against when one of the main retail feature points of the town is closed and one of the countries top retailers Wilkinsons is also closed.
As well as the retailers themselves the people driving any promotion of the town and it's events should be the council and the Chamber Of Trade.
I can imagine some people saying to me if you're not happy get up and do something about it. I wish I could.
A lot of it still goes back to one of my earlier posts, which comes first, people shopping in the town to generate the income for retail interest and investment, or retail investing in a business which may never arrive due to the demographics of the area. I don't know the answer |
and we won't know if we don't try it, it's no good sitting back and doing nothing, if we try to do something and it fails, then we can complain!
