No mention of how the following will be effectively embraced:
- Parking issues that will result by building a large number of flats in and around the town centre and on existing parking spaces.
- How to revitalise the High Street - it is currently suffering from decay in quality shops. I see no attempt at upping the quality.
- How will "Night Time Economy" will be radically improved - The High Street is regarded as a "no go" area at night.
- The report has a great deal of hyperbole and wishful thinking- I see little hard evidence on some of the claims.
I see no mention of how the following will be effectively embraced:
- Affordable housing for those on low income
- Appropriate independent accommodattion for those with a variety oif disabilities- not everyone lives in group homes
- Parking issues that will result by building a large number of flats in and around the town centre and on existing parking spaces
- How to revitalise the High Street - it is currently suffering from decay in quality shops - it is slowly turning into a haven of hairdressers, charity shops, and lower end chain restaurants. I see no attempt at upping the quality
- How will "Night Time Economy" will be radically improved - it is a steep hill to climb from drunken gangs to a safe environemtn for all the family. The High Street is regarded as a "no go" area at night
- The report has a great deal of hyperbole and wishful thinking- I see little hard evidence on some of the claims. Whenever claims are made garding a number of the above issues a "get out" clause is immediately given shaying why things will not happen.
