'It’s nothing to do with the town council in the fact that they are privately owned but we are hopeful that there will be something coming into the big shops during the next year.'We are hopeful to attract more businesses. One of the reasons for the small shops being empty is the success of the Tern Valley Business Park, which we are not knocking on - but it has had a knock-on effect.' Large units in Market Drayton are for sale including a former Wilkos store. Picture: Rightmove and Berrys Commercial. Speaking to the Shropshire Star about action in the town during the last 12 months, local councillor Tim Manton added:'If you walk around this town there are very few small shops unoccupied in this town.' Mr Manton also revealed that the town council is working on producing a new town map, or visitor guide, for the area. The councillor said there are also ambitions to produce a town action plan this year, working to improve the region and make it more attractive.'We commissioned a group called the retail group to do a study for us with regards to the town centre, to find what is good about it, what is bad, how we can improve. 'There were many action points that were recommended and so we have started on them and going through 2025 we will be working on a lot of those., in improving the town, improving the overall look of the town, and importantly it will have an impact in bringing people to the town to improve our visitor economy.'
