that is a very good question karen, i can understand what yetion is saying with the landlords , and that is the only way to let there shop out is to go with fastfood outlets for a quick rent out.
if you were a landlord would you be willing to wait for a more shall we say respectable outlet or go for the quick buck.
unfortunaty i think featherstone (a once great town) has gone to far into decline, more fast outlets then hull fair ,more shops turning back to houses/flats.
i have to admit that i dont go into the lane on a regular basis to do shopping, but there are a lot of people that dont, and even if we could bring fev back to its former glory i think it would be to late.
one thing to look at is this for me to travel from ackton to staion lane on the bus cost me £1.30.
for the same amount i can go to pont/cas/wake which has more choice of shops.
i cant think of a retail outlet that wants to come to featherstone becouse people dont shop here anymore,
not like they used to do.
this is sad
