5 October (Part 2) - Another week, another shop lost from Broadway
This
time it’s the Salvation Army shop, ‘The Booth’, named after the Army’s founder William Booth. it closed yesterday for reasons unknown but continuing
the recent unfortunate trend.
It would appear that council leader Teresa O’Neill was a little premature with
her comment last June that tarting up the Broadway “will lead to further
economic regeneration of the Borough’s strategic town centre as early indications are already showing“.
Shopping Centre manager Ian Payne is being given a hard time and the last
published figures showed that trade is down 7% compared to last year.
