Sign of the times?

Over the last few months, it has been very discouraging to see the number of shops closing in our town. We used to have a vibrant shopping centre, in fact over the years new sections have been built, and it has been advertised as one of the largest shopping centres in Scotland. The District Council some years ago took the decision to charge for parking, and this may have been a death knell for the shopping centre to remain an attraction to out of town visitors...... after all why come here when you can park for free at any one of several large and attractive shopping centres in the larger area? Town Councils are rather short sighted at times. Especially in times of a recession!

We have beautiful sun and blue skies with some white cloud, very nice. Enjoy your day, blippers!
