But few shops - not helped by the efforts of that Mary person. I think any implication that she has made it worse is unfair. Well, her efforts haven't been that popular. I wasn't aware of that. I was aware that they were thought to be micky-mouse sticking plaster solutions, but then what can you do with the piddly amount on offer. OK now I've found this: http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/topics/pr...231973.article Anyhow here's the list of ideas for Ashford, somewhere I am slightly more qualified to assess: 1.The rebirth of the Town Centre Market. 2.To create a unique covered area for the lower High Street providing a distinctive place within the town centre. 3.To use new technology to market the town centre, by developing a virtual tour of the town centre through an innovative website and app. 4.To create a new and compelling Vision for the town centre, considering it as one centre by characterising zones and roles for its different parts. 5.To generate creative solutions to improve the link between Ashford Designer Outlet and the town centre. 6.To use the website, app and market to galvanise businesses and provide income to support the Town Team and management of the town centre. My comments: 1) OK, but how does a bag of money achieve that. A bigger market requires more stallholders to attend, and they don't (probably because there aren't enough shoppers, which is the problem that you are trying to fix!). 2) That'll be the bit of the High Street outside Blockbuster and the Lap dancing club (at least that's what I assume it is) which is dead during shopping hours. Well there's a reason for that! 3) WTF! 4) So painting the pavement in different colours (either really or metaphorically) is going to make a difference is it? 5) They're one and half miles apart, how are you going to do that? There's already a subsidised shuttle bus and as there are draconian penalties if you overstay your parking few people are going to park there and then catch the shuttle to the town centre shops in case they mis-time their journey back (it's not like there is a shortage of parking in the centre). 6) Wishful thinking! tim |

He seems to think that there is no such thing as the north / south divide. He can't receive this splendid group so I will forward to him any that comments you would care to make. Ten years plus ago I worked as an agency van driver, mainly around Leicester and the Midlands, bacause that was where ther work was, and I live in Leicester. One of the jobs was delivering plasterboard and dry-lining supplies - I found that several Leicester/Midlands dry lining contractors could bid successfully on jobs in London and Essex that included delivery of materials from Leicester. I remember taking the company's 7.5 ton truck into the Excel Centre, which I'd not previously heard of. Also went to Portsmouth once with that job. |
