For interest you can have a look at our discusssions on this issue previously in Closure of Wilsons header which led me to approach them directly.

See Closure of Wilson's grocer - How can we save the High St? (3 pages worth)

I was surprised to learn there would be little or no economic benefit from hovercraft traffic. surely the potential of some extra footfall can only improve things. personally i cant see an economic downside. i dont know how these experts reach some of their conclusions, baffling.

We had a specialist kids shoe shop as well - it was in the Dragonheart tattoo shop.
