HOW sad to see the decline in shopping facilities in Mansfield.
While walking down Leeming Street recently I counted five boarded-up shops and these were once thriving businesses. Heaven knows what the total is across town?
Similarly the occupancy of market stalls has been drastically reduced, after once having a market practically every day. I personally believe the reason for this decline is the high overheads, such as council tax, wage bills, gas and electricity and water.
How do we combat this situation? We could start with a freeze on council tax.
