Cllr Chris Hunt has organised a drop-in event to take place 3pm - 8pm on Thurs 4th March, 9am - 4pm on 5th March and Saturday 6th March. It is to be held at 25 St Martin's Walk.
They are encouraging comment and ideas for the future of our town.
I would urge as many people as possible to visit and give views and comments. This is the ideal opportunity for all critics of the town who post things on this blog to have their ideas heard, and we must not allow the council to claim that nobody turned up to this!
Anyone going to go?

state of the High Street
They're has been so many posts about the state of the High Street and i'm sorry to add another but i want to vent my frustration. As a local shop trader for nearly ten years in the town i have never known business to be so bad, things just go from bad to worse year on year, shops are closing regularly and there is no reason for new traders to open. We waste money on projects that add no benefit and have a town centre manager that is never seen, our shopping centre is laughable and the High Street is deserted. I hate to have to say it but after many years of struggling i cannot be bothered anymore and am planning to pull out at the end of my lease (end of march) I cannot see this town improving within the next ten years as it will take such a mammoth task to get it back on it's feet, if that should ever happen.
