Another big name shop closes in West Bromwich

In the very same week its announced that parking charges are to double and Sandwell council has spent over £2Million on consultants, its with sadness that I hear of yet another big name shop closing, Smiths has been in the town since the 1940's stating “dwindling trade in the town”as the reason for closure.

Sandwell Tory said 

To park on the high street you would need to be an Olympic athlete to get out and back within the time allotted and why pay £4 a day to park when you can go to a local supermarket for free?

Labour shame on you for what's happened to our once magnificent town, in just 30 years.

your own Labour party run Council even moved 100's of staff from Lombard Street to Oldbury only a few months ago, helping leave West Bromwich desolate.

But you did give us the Public! Remind us all how much does that cost?

oh? and the musical chair game with 2 other West Bromwich Police Stations and 2 bus stations, how much did that lot cost?

 

SCRAP parking charge while you can or who will be next ?

Can you think of any more that have gone?
Who will Labour Blame?
