I'm not sure it's a council issue. a lot of the stock on the high street just isn't the right layout. I doubt you'd be happy if they knocked lots of it down...
I'd be ecstatic if they knocked down the guildhall and redevoped it to have the stores that went to in the new centre, Stafford would be buzzing again. And it wouldn't be any more disruptive than the creation of that new place would it? M&S could have the old Co op, once redeveloped, and Primark could have had the old M&S.
