ANOTHERJOHN Thank you very much for your comments and real understanding re the difficulties we traders face in Dartmouth road or lower beirut as I am now going to call it.
We are the forgotten road and you are absolutely right in all your comments,my only difference with you is I would use the two spaces in front of the job centre and the bookies as long as permission can be granted.
There is a real urgency to start promoting Dartmouth rd and all it has to offer,then hopefully some of the empty shop units will become let and that along with the pools opening will give us a real chance
Finally I hope that some time soon we can see a upgrade of our road and by that I mean the basics that all other towns take for granted ie planters,hanging baskets,lights in trees, markets etc
