Encouraginng each other to be assertive is something that is very important to me!
Relying on others can be very frustrating. People using their own initiative can often achieve far more. Self belief is important!
We llive in a town where this already happens so much . It will be natural for us as to do this more and more..
Yes well done to those shops and when Tesco opens expect to see much more footfall in town on Sundays. I know you sre agin it Geoff but it will be good for the town especially on Sats and Suns - it's up to the other shops to cash in and get the ripple effect of more people being in town. As regards parking I wasn't aware they charged on Sunday ? There are no traffic wardens to enforce it - that goes for the rest of the week too ! We all know you can park on yellow lines ,taxi-ranks ,disabled bays and go the wrong way down Market Place and get away with it. Well I don't want to spoil a positive post with a rant about parking - things could be looking up for the town when the Plaza de Coro is finished.
Though I can understand the sentiment, shops opening on Sunday indicated a move in a positive direction.
The small businessman will always be the person to push the boundaries in a new situation.
A good one will be very flexible and ready to respond to a need if there is one.
In this case if enough shops open then it will attract trade, mainly from tourists who come here on a Sunday and find what they feel is a ghost town.
It's a mistake to knock tourism as of all the industries, this is one that is thriving were it is encouraged.
The North East are having a field day with the weak pound. Unlike Ulverston, they have been working hard for five years to project their tourist image.
By contrast the one you get at the top by Googling 'Ulverston' has been deserted by Jayne Kendall who regards it as a 'portal'.
The one that was to have promoted us was the one done by the Town Council. However they have other ideas: they saw it an opportunity to promote:
Themselves - a thing that makes me shake with fury.
So say "Thank you" to the small businessman even though it's not your cup of tea. The alternative is a town that has even more empty shops and looks grimmer by the week!
