- I went to Rotherham for a look round I have never seen a town this quite on a Monday around midday
A lot of the shops have closed down its a shame our town centres are going this way out of town shopping with free parking and online buying is killing the town centre
You should have visited the indoor market which is quite nice and it’s being massively expanded and upgraded. The problem with the town centre in my opinion started when it was pedestrianised so that killed it dead. If you can’t get anywhere near the shops by car then people just go elsewhere as do I.
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 hi. I was going to go to the indoor market but they said no filming allowed in there.
@@Walkinginengland01 strange as I have seen other RUclipsrs post videos from there.
@tonyjedioftheforest1364 yeah security said no filming allowed
Tuesday and Thursday are the best days to go there cos the market is on.
I live in the Rotherham area and very rarely going into the town centre. The biggest problem with these areas is prosperity, like what we had before Thatcher was put in charge of the country. The closing of mines and steel with people who supplied these industries closing. People didn't have the money to spend, nothing has been done to replace what she destroyed. Also the past councils have a lost to do with it's demise. They've gone too over the top with pedestrianisation. If you can't get in with cars then they will go elsewhere. I remember before all this alternation were done, they should have kept the old market and kept in clean. We could have been advised as an old market town. It's so sterile now . I remember it being bustling with people elbow to elbow. What a disaster and they keep spending more money on a no hope town. It's just pitiful seeing in like this.
@@stephenreeve6732 it was similar when I went to chesterfield car parking is so expensive there people go to crystal peaks or Meadowhall for free parking
U went there on a bad day, u should of gone there when the market is on.
According to internet Monday is a market day maybe the council have priced the stall holders out like many other places in U.K.
Couldn't live their after the grooming scandal which apparently is still going on...
I couldn’t comment on that I’ve not heard anything more about it
If the council is anti-business then eventually the businesses move out and take all the jobs with them. Socialism is what's happened to Rotherham.
