I don't think he means in that respect, but the fact that every other 3rd shop is derelict, run down, or falling down.
What we need to do is knock now the already poorly used "leisure centre" - if that what you can call it, building an extra extension to "The Bridges" which shops/services we really need. (1st the Ice Rick went - turned into some indoor training facility for SAFC iirc, then the pool went when they built the Aquatic Centre - cant be much left other than Snooker/Pool and 5aside courts etc?)
When I was a little 'un (that's going back 20 years or so, as I can remember the "old" bus route in and out off the bus station via Crowtree road, which is now the likes of Starbucks 02 Store, USC and Debenhams, and the footbridge upto the entrance to the Leisure Centre, and across to the flats.
Whilst has been developed since year blonk (ie: 1990) I still think the current look of the leisure centre takes away what could be a good shopping facility to match that of say, Eldon Square (but not neccesarily the Metrocentre)
dont talk to me steward
