Wet day in Stockton today… but plenty of people are taking shelter and using the facilities in Stockton Shambles
Once the council moves the tenants out, where will people be able to shelter from the rain? There is no castlegate anymore, then no shambles to use, it means Stockton is wide open…
Stockton Council have had surveys carried out on the building this week, despite “no decision being made” it is clear, they want our independent traders out.
They can bluff all they want that they intend to “work with the traders” the truth is, they favour a national vendor over the Stockton people.
And for those who say “well half the units are empty” there is a reason for that. The council wouldn’t allow any new businesses to open in here
It’s clearly a done deal.
