Topic : Hands up, who has been to Bradford shopping lately? |
|
| Peter |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) Only six businesses have been given grants or rate rebates in a scheme set up more than a year ago to tempt retailers into struggling city-centre streets, the Telegraph & Argus can reveal today. The £1.5 million funding pot was set up by Bradford Council to help prevent the top of town from being left behind by the opening of The Broadway. goo.gl/eFdgTK The comments on this article are interesting. Bradford have lost the plot!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Machine Mart, Maplins and the second hand camera shop on North Parade and of course the Media Museum, but you are right, it has gone down hill. |

I think we are talking about central Bradford shops here (not Foster Square), but where are the central Bradford shops? |

I would rather shop in a war zone than Bradford. I worked in Bfd centre many years ago and it was a pleasant enough place to walk around and shop in. Not any more. |

All town centres are the same. Any shops of interest require a little walk, Bradford is no exception. |

Cllr Jeanette sunderland made a very good point, why concrete over greenfields when all these empty shopping streets could be bulldozed and loads of house built, the people who live in them will use the remaining shops, not rocket science and a very good idea in my opinion |

All town centers are not the same. Try Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool. Bradford just got left behind and will never catch up, however much of our rates money they waste. |

Leeds and Manchester city centres have lost all the smaller interesting shops. Along with Bradford I have known them well for over 40 years. Leeds and Manchester might look 'better' but as a shopping experience they are really little better than Bradford, or any large town or city. For me the most interesting shops are the new 'Woolworths' style shops; Poundland, Works, Yorkshire Trading.....and others. |

Poundland, and The Works can be found in the new Bradford Broadway Centre, these are hardly shops you would expect to find in a prestige shopping centre when it had just opened. Perhaps they had problems getting shops to open there and the rent was cheap. I went to the Broadway Centre about a month after it had opened, it was a short cut to the media centre. I vowed never to darken its doors again, so disappointing. |

In terms of shopping interest Poundland and the like tend to be better in places like Keighley and Skipton. I think out of major town shops get the odds and sods which is where some of the best bargains may be found. I have found real bargains in Keighley Poundland, especially books and stationery. For any real photographers the Agfa colour film, 35mm 24 exp is a real bargain at £1. If you are interested in real photography then nearest reasonable source of choice is on North Parade in Bradford. |

But why would anyone in our age of technological convenience still choose to shoot with analog film? |
