00:00I think maybe having some bigger name shops in the town it's lovely having the
00:10small independent shops but maybe having some of the bigger names in the
00:14town rather than on the retail part would be good but otherwise I think it's
00:17a great place to live and it's got a lot going on. We could improve Newark with
00:21having free car parking that would bring people back to Newark I think in my
00:25opinion. Well I'd like to see more of the local shops re-opening for people who
00:32are who run local businesses that would be good to bring some more because the
00:37markets kind of died so it might bring more spirit and atmosphere to the town.
00:45I think more disabled facilities personally it's not easy for disabled people to get
00:51around I think more things to introduce for them to get into town. I just think
00:58opening up some of the shops again getting more businesses into town you
01:03know mainly run by local people would be good. I think first of all they could do
01:08something about the litter situation in certain residential streets and I think
01:16the reform of the parking charges would probably be useful for bringing people
01:22into Newark especially as neighbouring areas do give the first hour or two free.
01:29A bit better some days it used to be much bigger and it's a bit late now but
01:36at Christmas I think we could have a proper Christmas tree that thing they
01:39put in the middle it's awful. Shops to open up again there's more shutting down
01:44rejuvenate the marketplace market square I think that's gone down dramatically
01:50since we've lived here that's in eleven and a half years now. I think more shops
01:55to open up again there needs to be a little bit more going on in the town than
01:59before.
