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

Oxford started the whole Park & Ride concept.
