It's cos it's in the town centre Ann, with limited parking spaces. Otherwise people would park and go to town instead.

The Town M&S closed and moved to a large premises in the out of town Enterprise park not far from me. It has killed the town centre, which is struggling now.
The parking there is free, but then it has huge car parks.

The same thing happened in Wrexham...they built a shopping, cinema etc complex just at the bottom end of the town so the centre is now deserted to what it used to be like..it's a shame really

Little woods and Woolies had a big store in the centre and both closed down Sparks and Next went to the new bit :-(

Town is full of cheapie shops now.
I actually like them!
Charity shops, banks, a couple of shoe shops, a Wilkinsons, Asda, the market, solicitors and estate agents. Not much else really.

They built a new theatre/ cinema/ restaurant complex at an end of town that had got run down. It doesn't seem to have brought much trade into the town itself I don't think.
They knocked it all down, including an historic hotel (one time Coach House and Inn) and pub to do so.

It's sad ain't it, and sometimes you wonder who are the numbskulls that approve these plans, my mum would be shocked now to see Wrexham, she worked in Littlewoods for many years and then the town was buzzing :-(
