I just wish that we could have some lovely upmarket shops in Stafford.
We are, after all, the County town, we should be the show town, but we are nothing short of a disgrace.
It seems like it’s been a race to the bottom, cheap bargain shops, charity shops, vape shops, barbers, tattoo etc.
There is nowhere to buy any decent clothes or shoes, or house stuff.
Where do people go that actually have money to spend?
I’ll tell you..... those people who previously hopped on a train to Manchester or Birmingham are now going to Cannock.
There are queues outside the shops at the designer village because most people aspire to nice things.
Had the powers that be had a better vision for Stafford then more people would be flocking in.
A department store, designer shops, independent shops. If we were known as a good shopping town then the people would come, the town’s pubs and restaurants would benefit.
But no, cheap shops is all we’ve got.
