« Thread started on: Dec 11th, 2004, 05:31am »

in april the clown centre mangler wrote in an email

..."town centres play a significant
social and economic function that is largely overlooked or misunderstood -
they need to create a healthy social mix and economic opportunity and Bangor
is only now on the path to recreating this. Watch this space!! Town centres
rule OK!! "...

gosh what a difference a few months make, the town centre doesnt seem to rule no more, not after his comments in the spectator on thursday... " I have been talking to quite a few retailers over the past week, and November was terrible" ... "with regards to Christmas, clearly there is an expectation that its not going to be great"

Clearly the laying down of the red carpet to the likes of Safeway and HMV has now backfired as these stores are reporting poor sales.

dont worry though we are all only too aware of what he meant in a presentation to the council last year when he spoke of the likes of HMV coming at a cost and after protracted persuasion - look at how we lost four music stores out of the town centre in the last year.

but as he later adds (and how wonderful it is that he is supporting the local traders so much), "Personally, Ive the bulk of mine done and have used the internet more this year"

merry f**kin christmas!!!

and gawd bless us one an all!!!!!

I often wondered, exactly what does his job entail?
This is bad for the Town, mangler is a good description.

I feel really sorry for the small shopkeepers in the Town,but this is what happens when a none elected Clown sets himself up as a self appointed spokesperson and Town manager.Wineing,dining.social climbing and sucking up to large Multi-nationals.
The last thing Bangor and Holywood needs is another freeloader.(I can only imagine his wage packet)
Local shopkeepers should make their feelings known by picketing his rent and rate free office on the main street.
Act before its to late!
