The High Street side doesn't count and even the old Post Office site takes up one side of it's own. However, some thing should/could be done as to this place being a civic blight. I have been to many places in the U.K. and indeed the world and have yet to come across a town or city that isn't proud of it's square or squares. Even London glorifies them (and why not !).

I never made any mention of any businesses, we're talking about the buildings themselves regardless of what's put in them, if they're clean on the outside and not full of grime and dirt they'd at least be appealing to look at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
