I'd say only 1/6 of the shops are empty, sounds about right. The guildhall is more like 1/3 but other areas fare much better.

The loss of the car park is regrettable but when the developers purchased it there was a plan. Following the sale, it was private enterprise determining the future of that land, not the council. When we know the commercial details of why that fell through and what is going to happen there, it will be clear. But rest assured there will be a commercial enterprise there - and a car park - whatever it turns out to be.Hahaha 'morrisons development aside.....'. You cannot just ignore a major development in the town that is a complete fiasco, costing millions of pounds and destroying houses, public toilets, the central clinic and a major car park along the way.
I suppose you would say 'town Centre aside, Stafford is a brilliant place'.

Sorry, it was the pickled eggs.Also heard some horrific noises over by Nandos, an immense vibrating that I couldn't quite believe was wind
I have never claimed that Stafford is the most run down place in the country. I simply pointed out that it is run down which, as I have proved, it is. Stafford is supppsee to be the county town, so it should be the best. But it is not. It is sadly lacking in all areas.
Just because something is the county town doesn't give it a define right to be the best....
A crisis strategy to try and resolve a problem, not a policy decision.I thought that the 'Morrisons' site had received planning approval to convert the large store into 3 smaller stores? I thought that B&M were going into one of them, and that one of the stand alone units was going to be a pet shop to rival Pets at Home? Not sure about the others on that site.
Not quite sure what the Council can do, unless they spent our money buying up the empty units and then trying to tempt retailers in. Or do they own property in the town?
Of course it does, otherwise it has no right to be the county town.
And it is the 'divine' right, not define.
And why does Stafford need yet another B&M store full of crap?
It is a pity that you still need English lessonsFeck me, I'm getting English lessons from someone who spells suppose as supppsee .....
Hilarious !!!

How about lightening up a bit?It is a pity that you still need English lessons
Correcting grammatical errors is not an opinion, nor is it personal. He made an error in his use of words, which I corrected. That is all there is to it.How about lightening up a bit?
You are fully entitled to your opinion just as other people are fully entitled to oppose it but wouldn't it be more constructive if it didn't get personal?
