The local council purchased the freehold of the M & S - a building laid out as a department store which is of course just the right investment to be buying right now.
Yeovil was the surprisingly correct response. Not a high street I would expect to be recognised. About half the shops sin that picture are no longer there.Closed and gone. Its a very bad example of riding the retail collapse. What is shocking..SHOCKING!! is the Costa Coffee has closed down. Citing ' too high rent and rates.'
That's Costa-500% markup- easy money - pushed rents up ten fold on their own- now saying they are too high.
Not unattractive the two high streets. Though very much a 'C' grade destination. The shops that survuve are quite ugly. Charity-barbers-poundshop-cheapo.
H+M looks the newest and a good look. JD and Primark are Ok. Primark done a very good job with the old, and dark, and oversized Woolworths building. Something we looked at when Woolies went under. We asked who would take over such a monster? The answer was primark and poundland.
BHS remains empty.With zero interest in it as it is.
However, I do have theformulation of a cunning plan. And onc I've mulled it over a bit. And pitched it, i might put it to you all, for consideration.
I would guess Newhaven, but there are no street-drinkers passed out on the benches ..
