Regeneration? How can you regenerate a town centre by

taking hundreds of thousands of pounds out of the local

economy and sending it to America?

I believe the county planning officers are profoundly

wrong in thinking an urban retail park on the cattle

market site could do anything to help the town centre

shops.

On the contrary, the planning officers must know what

has happened to towns and cities all over Britain since so

much local trade has gone to out of town shopping.

If we really want to regenerate town centre we need to cut

traders' rate bills, drastically, and abolish parking charges

to give town centre shops a bit of a local playing field

needed?

Are you fed up with waiting for something to happen on

the cattle market? Live to get something done? No use

unless it's the right thing for the town. Better nothing

than do the wrong thing and wreck Abergavenny.

Regeneration? Abergavenny flourishes by being different.

By being itself, not like every other small town. The

council (and it's cheer leaders) are doing their best to

regenerate Asda.
