00:08 I think that it needs to be made quite safe because at night, at nighttime, it can feel a little bit intimidating.
00:20 And like my friend said, restaurants.
00:24 Somewhere nice, a lovely restaurant to go and eat, you know, perhaps do one a little bit special in one week and just get a coffee and just have a light lunch.
00:35 Lovely shop, I would agree with these two ladies. They know Newark far better than I do.
00:42 First thing I'd say is all the shops are shut in is to drop the rates.
00:47 They're paying too much.
00:49 You know, I'm hoping the place will be open. It's dying. It used to be great. I've been here all my life. It's dying. It's rubbish.
00:57 And it's all through the cars.
00:59 I quite think the area is okay. One thing I might add is public toilets. I know we have got one set here, but there's very limited.
01:12 So that's probably about it, but everything else I quite like it. I love Newark.
01:16 I think it's a bit of a market because Newark used to be like that, didn't it? Newark was a beautiful place to come.
01:23 I mean, there's lovely buildings, you know, it is really quite a nice market.
01:28 I can't say more shops, but they don't seem to be doing. They seem to get rid of them, don't they a lot?
01:34 Shops. Well, I know a lot are going to be flats, aren't they? Already.
01:41 I don't really know, to be quite honest. I just make do with what they've got.
01:46 They gone for that thing.
