Jimmy, I hope you and yours never have to make use of the Riverside Centre ,without the funds our shop brings in it might not be able to continue.
In a few days time I will be 68 what would you have me aspire to, using the Riverside Centre or possibly the grave, being active keeps us oldies alive.
1) Would you rather have 10 unkempt empty shops.
2) Would you prefer the less well off going without a much needed warm winter coat they can buy from us for the paltry sum of £3.
3) Would you rather that good item of clothing went to landfill.
4) Would you prefer the very occasional high valued brick-a-brac was lost to landfill.
5) What are you doing, apart from whinge on here, to improve this town that is nowhere near as bad as you paint it.
Charity shops raise ESSENTIAL money for good causes, you might not like it but they are badly needed, even more so after the cock up (
sorry all) what I assume to be your party made of the country.
