I bet this is some local councillor scrambling for ideas for the next election... My opinion? Tear down the Chantry Centre - make it look modern and new to entice in new businesses. Then instead of sitting on your fucking laurels. Actively ENCOURAGE them to come to our town by reducing rent. H&M, Gap ect. They WILL come, I swear we are the only town that DOESN'T have a Starbucks, which really says something about our smegma filled high street. Spend some money, invest in high street chains, independents will follow. Example being Basingstoke. Before FP was built it was fucking dreadful, now it has revamped it attracts huge international businesses.

Anything that sells mens clothing!! Be it department store, Primark, T K Maxx, clothing outlet, a chain like Blue Inc anything but just Burtons or Next!! There's nothing wrong with Burtons or Next but sometimes when I go out I look like a plus size model for their store and match most other blokes around town!!
