Title: WHAT BUSINESSES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON STATION LANE? Post by: seneca bond on October 29, 2011, 06:39:17 pm I think there are too many fast food outlets-although lanes Chippy is the business, and carolyn's is top level, and too many nail bars.
You can't buy decent clothing in Featherstone-you used to be able to. I'd like a proper deli/cafe a restaurant other than a curry house a shoe shop it's good that there is a decent hardware store, butchers, and greengrocers. I think it's a shame that there isn't much going on at night on a frequent and regular basis, and that the town isn't a place that people from outside the town visit for business or pleasure other than rovers' games.

Post by: lillyandmargret on October 29, 2011, 07:36:22 pm Having visited Garforth I think that is an excellent example of a high street. Chain stores as well as independants, including clothing stores with varying prices. They also have a good variety of food outlets including restaurants. I think whoever is responsible for what goes in Station Lane (if anyone is!!) should visit Garforth high street and see how it's done. If Featherstone was more like Garforth I for one would shop more often here!

Tickhill near Doncaster is another, smaller template.Title: Re: WHAT BUSINESSES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON STATION LANE?

Roast ham all on with salad cream not mayo, scotch egg, job's a good un. I would like a deli that sold ingredients though if you see what I mean. IMHO featherstone has an excellent supermarket. The DIY shop provides a good service. |
