I'm sorry to say Wrex, that apart from the County and Town Council, the shopkeepers, business people and even the shoppers themselves must walk round with their eyes closed to fail to notice the absolutely disgusting state of this Town. The Main Street is degenerating into nothing better than a third rate open market with our pavements crowded with lots of cheap shoddy goods. (There are obviously some exceptions). The secondary shopping streets are little better.
The overall situation is further compounded by the number of empty shops, fly posters, unkempt and poorly maintained shop frontages and overflowing waste bins and rubbish strewn pavements. No one it seems has any pride in the Town anymore.
Unless something is done, very soon, the place will fall apart at the seams. Sorry to say Wrex, but I think your words are just falling on dead ears, however, don't give up up, miracles sometimes do happen!
