Business packs up ahead of town centre redevelopment - but tensions remain

Traders staged a protest in November about the regeneration proposals plans that will see their shops demolished, pictured: Bianca Gregory, Sue Gregory, Angela Smith, Pauline Jackson, Julia Evans and Christine OrfordOpposition remains to the controversial proposal, which includes plans to demolish 31, 33 and 35 Market Street, and 1, 3, 5 and 7 Limes Walk.

Christine Orford, of Christine’s Florist, is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce. Her business is not directly affected by the plans, but she claims members are ‘disgusted’ by the process. She said: “It’s disgusting how we’ve all been treated. It seems the council just does what they please, there’s no democracy.

“If we lose this shop a lot of the people we help get their lives back through therapy, might not have that opportunity. At the moment this shop helps put a therapist in Ark, in Shrewsbury, one day a week, to help homeless people. “We continue to work with all businesses affected by the proposals and meet with them on a regular basis. We have hosted consultation events, attended public meetings and have full support from the Oakengates Chamber of Trade.”

“This is all with the aim of boosting footfall into Oakengates and transforming the 1960’s shopping precinct into a modern, welcoming shopping experience for residents and visitors alike.
