Just wondered ....what type of shop would you like to see in Marlborough High Street.....apart from a cheaper food shop that is as everyone knows we need one of those,
We could do with a cheap clothes shop Male/Female....something like TK max or for Eddie Grundy (the knicker man) to set up a shop

Apart from a cheaper food shop ...... something like Perrins used to be (for egg and chips or a cuppa etc) would be good but seems that those sort of places are "out of fashion" these days ..... dvd/video rental shop ...... ordinary cheaper clothing for all the family (BHS/Peac0cks/QS etc) ... a pet shop (usually end up going to Rangebourne in Devizes) .... and finally a proper Tourist Information Office/Shop like they have in many other towns which are typically run by Town Councils etc so perhaps we should not hold our breath - but they do own shop space in the town so it would be perfectly feasible or else make better use of the Merchant House for the same reason especially as they own that too.
No more chain stores please - we'll become nothing but a clone High St which would be horrible! I'm fed up with posh frocks and coffee too!
If only M & S would take out the pre-everythinged food and put in underwear and nightwear for men and women. Knicker Eddie could still out do them on prices!
But it really does concern me that the rentals and rates are so high that the little shops that make our High St what it is will be squeezed out. Once the chains get a hold there will be no more Marlborough as we know it.
The place for a Supermarket would be the George Lane side of the George Lane car park........
I wonder if Waitrose were cute enough to do a deal with KDC planning when they extended not to allow other supermarkets permission???
