The Manager   12 #1 Posted March 24, 2022 I freely admit I don't go to town center much , for Many reasons , it's just not welcoming anymore I know money has been spent on The Moor area but overall it's still poor for shops and off putting with Drunks on corners in some areas in day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kevvy   12 #3 Posted March 24, 2022 I don't think Town is as bad as people make out. I go regularly, yes I see and hear the drunks but they are usually arguing amongst themselves.  The real problem I have is that I think the Council has made it a "No Go" area with the Road Closures they have in place. Covid was used as an excuse to close Pinstone Street etc now it seems to be yesterdays news they still insist on not allowing Public Transport back in. I think this has a huge bearing on keeping people out of Town. It can't be encouraging to any business thinking of opening in the Town Centre. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest makapaka   #4 Posted March 24, 2022 It’s grim in places - but there’s loads of redevelopment going on and in a year or two it will hopefully be a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HeHasRisen   3,412 #9 Posted March 24, 2022 Are there any war-town cities or towns you would prefer for me to use in my comparisons in future? Just so I can get a list done.  How about Aleppo? Basra? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
