| "Tom, just to clarify footfall on the southside has always been lower and this is reflected in rents. All the main supermarkets are on the northside and so this is where people will head to and spend most of their time. C9 has reinforced this difference. You are falling into the trap of relying on one piece of data to reach an unsound conclusion." You mean the data that shows that footfall has increased since C9 opened? I think rather you've already fallen into your own Heffalump trap of dismissing any information that contradicts your prejudices! "The remaining businesses are finding it really tough and the only ones that are thriving are delivery enabled ones which have more moped riders than customers eating in." It's rather odd that the number of unoccupied premises has dropped since C9 opened, and the newcomers are not just restaurants, either. It might be nothing to do with C9, of course, but you are very ready to blame it without offering any concrete evidence. Maybe you could clarify the "very evident" signs that you think others are overlooking? |
