Herbert, wow that's very pessimistic! I moved to the area three years ago and in that time:

The new pools
FH monthly food market
From the Forest
St Davids Coffee house
Canvas & Cream
Aga's deli
The Butchery
The Montage
Doopoo Doopoo

Yes there is lots of room for improvement (especially the Perry Vale side of the station which is very shabby) but as far as I can see the FH Society and the Mary Portas project are doing a really good job for the community and without a bottomless pit of money.
