it is getting worse the market is now half empty, the market hall has a fraction of the shops it once had, i used to regularly use Crawshaws and it always seemed busy now thats gone, the pavements centre is not safe as you are likely to be attacked by abusive security for doing nothing wrong, as i understand it they are building another shopping centre whats the point, it seems to me the only growth industry in town centre are charity outlets and overpriced coffee shops.
