Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[gilesjuk]

Hate Queens retail park. Always queues to get out and why so many speed bumps? you only need a few before the pedestrian crossing and TBH that crossing is really badly placed.

It's a Stafford tradition.

Build a shopping location, then make it harder and harder to get in or out.

Queens, Madford, Friary, The Hough....

Very rarely go to the queens retail park, the inevitable queues on the Lichfield road and the difficulty getting out always puts me off

There's actually

Somewhere other than Stafford?

 

[Cue]

I’m pretty sure the speed bumps are bordering on illegal heights tbh, they feel way too extreme

I also never go to Queens or the Hough retail parks. Wrong end of town and too much traffic. Didn't realise I wasn't alone,

I have to go to the hough area as my vets is there, but I don't go to queens unless I really have to.

In possibly the quickest turn around, looks like the old game has already been let. Had a new floor in the day after game left, now it's got shop fitters in, unless Mike Ashley is using the store for another of his brands ?

Hoping for a Tim Hortons

Hoping for a Tim Hortons

not.a.chance

possibly as a drive thru in the future but the town centre just isn't busy enough

Look at the streetview and you'll see a fenced off section of grass. Move the crossing back about 2 meters. Will provide some extra visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. It's a give way and so good visibility is useful.

I did look at that and I'd have to agree it is a badly sited crossing. Putting it on a totally blind corner like that. OK adults are likely to be aware of hidden oncoming traffic, but the thought of kids running along the front of the shops and out onto the road, perhaps not so much.

there are pallets and materials in the unit next to Nando’s

A member of staff said their footfall had dropped to around 20-40 a day.

Wow, they manage 20-40.

 

[Gramaisc]

Possibly counting individual feet?
