I am also really interested in this parade of shops – Reginald Parade. There is a sign outside, a compulsory purchase order. And the new joint service centre is being built right next to it. I feel sad about this even though I didn’t know the shops that were there because they have all closed down except one – the hairdressers, which is still open and doing business. I wonder what their plan is for the future?
From conversations I’ve had with people already I can feel some resentment towards the joint service centre, it has taken over half the playground and forced this shops, which were well appreciated by the community, to move out. If the parade was done up it would look beautiful but I guess it’s too late for that now.
