Not So Salubrious Of Places

It has to be said that Evesham's shopping centre is not the most salubrious of places to visit, in fact, embarrassingly, it has been named, in certain quarters, as one of the worst in the country, which is pretty shameful.

When we first moved it was quite a hub of activity, where we had the opportunity to met and great the characters from Ice Age with a very tiny Iris, in the shade of a most resplendent Christmas tree, but since then all but Home Bargains and a café remain from all the other shops we used to frequent and make considered purchases from.

At times it feels as if it is frequented more by pigeons and yellow buckets to catch the leaks than actual , real life customers.

However, word is abound that plans are now very much afoot to knock it all down to be replaced by new retail opportunities, housing and perhaps even some kind of entertainment facility. We of course will be bereft without our beloved Home Bargains, the nearest one, when it finally closes, being a goodly bus ride away. I'm not at all sure where we're going to go for our cut price confectionary, snacks and Darrell's cleaning products and candles locally in the meantime.

I guess we'll just have to suck it up, embrace the challenges and look forward to the retail experiences that might be.  As for the pigeons and buckets ............!!!
