Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[Mudgie]

Well thank you Captain Obvious, for telling me that Brocton is in Stafford Borough. I've only lived in Brocton since 2004 so I didn't realise.

People zooming up and down Camp Road. Well one or two do, obviously. But it's part of my daily (sometimes twice daily walk) with the dogs and to say it's much of an issue would be a gross exaggeration. Besides there are plenty of paths either side that mean you can leave the road for the cars and walk in a far better environment for pedestrians and animals.

No I think your post just reflects the general attitude in the vast majority of your posts, to be honest. You just can't live and let live. Unless everything meets your precise requirements, you moan and bitch about it. In fact you're precisely the kind of person that made me decide, quite some time ago that I never, ever wanted to live in a house with neighbours again.

If I get "Well thank you Captain Obvious" for agreeing with you I dread to think what would happen if I were ever to disagree !

Sorry. All this quoting gets confusing at my age.

I think the majority of the weed is smoked round by us, you can get high as a kite just going out the front here.

Try walking down the high street of an afternoon...

Looks like substantial work happening in the old Laura Ashley shop, lots of interior walls to break up the space.

Looks like it's going to be a vets - https://www12.staffordbc.gov.uk/onl...ctiveTab=summary&previousKeyVal=001KTLPFLI000

They have put up Island Vets signs on the main signage for that retail park so it looks like they are moving from their pokey hole around the corner !

So is Island Vets moving into Laura Ashley? And can the retail park be used for parking?

Ooo, that’ll get the parking company in a tizz, that car park is one of the “leave and we’ll fine you” ones

I think Laura Ashley counts as the retail park - it's the row of shops with the florist and pharmacy that doesn't.

Yeah but we all know the parking company will do anything to catch you out.

There's something else on the sign too, made me think it might be a load of EV chargers.

Work appears to have started on the building shell by the derelict job centre on foregate

The entrance for Laura Ashley always used to be on the retail park anyway...

There seems to be 4 spaces outside Laura Ashley, the retail park carpark doesn't start until after the corner.

That had crossed my mind too.

It's only a minor improvement over the other location. Being in the town centre suits some people I guess. If you have a poorly cat and no car you can at least put it in a carry cage thing and walk there.
