Portas shopping design: for Holdingham and Sleaford?

I have been watching Channel 4 programme the other night about Towns talking to Mary Portas  with a view to replenishing their High Streets. The same ideology could also apply to some parts of Sleaford and maybe even Holdingham!

But we can’t all be TV stars and get communities participating like some!

 Comment and reaction was given widely in the media and here is one from the Telegraph: Mary Portas on Channel 4 TV.  Whilst I was watching out of curiosity it was also because there appears to be a diversion of interest within Sleaford.

 

Some are transfixed by her – others are openly hostile.  The fact that she is a TV personality certainly gets Communities backing schemes they would otherwise reject:  and of course we always love the publicity “don’t we?” and the last thing we want is to be seen as NIMBY’s and being anti-democratic on TV.

 

It is interesting to watch this philosophy being put across. it makes a change from the pessimists who say we cannot stop the advance of the Superstores or from the Internet.

Any good Samaritans in Holdingham?

I picked this up from the Neighbourhood Watch team. This is a National request but this area is as good as anywhere for helping others! Yes certainly we have many people in Holdingham (and Sleaford and Lincs) who will always help someone in trouble. Here is the message!
