I am not anti charity shops, however the Guildhall (in an ideal world) should be providing quality shops not charity shops and pound shops.
I couldn’t agree more, I quite enjoy a mooch round a charity shop myself.
It’s finding the right balance though.
I realise that this is comparing a town to a large village so perhaps not the best comparison but I do think that Penkridge have got the right idea.
A few charity shops and a nice mix of independents. Butchers, bakers, florist, hardwear shops, gift shops etc.
All that’s missing is a decent dress and shoe shop for me.
