Not surprised Maplins are on the rocks. As has been said, town
centre retail
is dead. Battle the car-hating councils obstacle course to get there
in the
first place. Pay more in parking than for next-day delivery. Dodge the
chuggers and beggars to get to the one store you actually need to
visit.
No wonder there's only pound shops, betting shops and takeaways
left, it's
only fit for people with lots of free time and no money.

Yup. Take Cambridge as an example. They dont WANT cars anywhere NEAR
the town

Presumably they think that the pointy headed cyclists will be enoogh
customers to keep the town centre alive. History shows its dying though

I switched to shopping in Bury St Edmunds to avoid the sodding cyclists
in the pedestrian zone in Cambridge.

Newmarket is better
