According to NWN headlines free parking will be allowed on the 4 late night shopping up to Christmas.

That won't tempt me into Newbury. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as a half-hearted offer.

Great philosophy costco. The idea of actually doing something about the decline an anathema. |

As dannyboy has quoted often on this forum it will be up to the individuals whether it survives or not "Use it or lose it" comes to mind. Newbury has always had problems with traffic flow and parking problems and not a lot can be done about it because of the bridge situations around the town. Of course it is not going to improve any time soon because of all the new development that is planned and no infrastructure planning being done whatsoever it would appear? Should the town have been left just for residence and a new town shopping complex built on the outskirts? Sandleford Park springs to mind! -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?
