    On a vaguely connected topic, I just watched the final Mary Portas episode about saving the High Street. Highly recommended if you missed it. A lot of the comments on this forum were echoed throughout the series. Anyhow, it got me pondering about rents in the town so I checked the council site. On it is a pic of the high St cafe to let in the butchers market but it must be from yonks ago (dark red frontage and the cafe was called Tomlinsons) as I really don’t recall it looking like this. Anybody else remember? I can’t believe how smart it looked compared to the greasy cafe facade that replaced it.

    Can’t get link to work but look for ‘vacant properties town centre’ PDF on council website..page 6.

    I watched the one on Liskeard tonight, and have read that it was embraced locally better than others.

    The list referenced above could be the https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/assets/pdfs/business/property/vacant_properties_town_centre.pdf . Its updated quite regularlly and contains prices, rentals , service charges and rateable values for properties.

    A lot of stall holders have moved out of the peoples market and the butchers market due to falling sales and rising rents. The council are doing nothing to help by raising rents.
