I'm struggling to think of a reason to go into Bangor these days. I'd love to take a day out and explore the area but there's nothing to do . . .

I could make you an offer but my wife wouldn't like it! :A :rotfl:

How are all these premises going to be filled????????? I heard that on many commercial properties, the Landlords are only interested in long-term leases.

Too many ring road shopping malls. Quite a few Landlords would accept short term leases as they are paying rates themselves on empty property.

The councils could help by having zero commercial rate areas in the centre of towns and villages and the DOE by having zones where there were no fees for commercial applications. Some applications can cost many thousands of pounds, hardly an incentive to set up a business.

Thank you. That put a smile on my face

I'm also a happily married woman :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Couldn't resist sorry!

I should point out that I'm only married in the eyes of the law for those that don't get my sarcasm!

Timpsons (sp) in Bloomfields cleared their stock out on Saturday, so looks like they are gone too.

I took a dander around Bangor on Saturday (yes I was bored) and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Very busy with shoppers on Main Street although High Street was looking depressing. Was in Bloomfields but missed Timpsons closing.

Well at least there's still lots of pubs to drown our sorrows in :beer:

Morienos

Oddly I find High Street less depressing, there's Empathy, there's Focus new opening, Sampsons is still there, the Chemists, Java, Replay, pubs/etc, some various independents. Main street is the death knell (bar TKmaxx which is actually getting a bit grotty)

Seeing Tkmaxx getting its delivery in the mornings is funny though. It's like watching someone get christmas presents from a senile (yet rich) relative.
