I am not sure that the graduated tint on their website is necessarily a good idea. You'd probably be hoping for something a bit more even in the tanning department.
Do they charge more for 'the larger lady'? Cos, for example, Dawn French would need more fake tan than say Twiggy,wouldn't she?I notice that they have a 'private spray booth' - surely they would get more free publicity if they had a public spray booth..?
The rates are set by central government and collected by the local council, so there isn't very much that the council can do to influence the amount of rates payable.
In my view the configuration of the units is wrong. We have too many mid sized units that are too big for smaller, independent businesses and too small for the larger retailers that want to come into the town. That is probably why they will pick the new shopping centre, alongside the fact that it is new and shiny! Maybe the Guildhall need to consider making some larger units and separating out a couple of units into smaller units to encourage more independents.
One of the problems we have is that high streets and shopping centres in the future will be nothing like what's gone before. More people shop online, stores that are doing well include Argos and Currys with their click and collect options. We probably need less retail space overall and in my view we need more people living in town as well as working there to encourage more of a night time economy.
That is a bit off tangent for this thread, but the Guildhall will need to adapt to reflect customer needs of the future, not of today.
Right that's my weekend sorted , get my eyebrows threaded then quick nip into elc then off to be tangoed
To sum up, the town's gone / going to shit. Hopefully it'll be a totally different experience soon though !
