The High Street

Saturday, January 25, 2020 12:35

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Belper has been named as having the best high street in England at a glitzy award ceremony in Edinburgh.

Great British High Street judges celebrated the town and it’s Love Belper group, even awarding “hero” status to its leader, Laura Armstrong.

The ceremony brochure stated: “Using the #lovebelper hashtag, visitors can enjoy virtual showcases of this UNESCO World Heritage status town, including The Pumpkin Trail, Bunny Hop and Fiver Fest.

“Many businesses have undertaken Belper ambassador training and all have signed up to being breastfeeding-friendly.

“Shops have also been audited for accessibility too. Declaring a climate emergency, the town has introduced initiatives like a Sharing Not Wasting project and the new Repair Café.

Belper is within easy reach for us and the High Street is okay as high streets go, but we hardly ever visit. Why? Shops are shops and for us a nearby shopping mall has more attractions.

Soulless it may be, but the mall has a huge free car park and a regular bus service, is clean and there is absolutely no litter. Go there early enough and you see staff wiping down the litter bins after making sure they have a fresh bag inside. There are no derelicts, no drunks, no drug addicts, nobody sleeping in doorways, no charity shops and no Big Issue sellers.

Not that Belper has these issues to any significant degree as far as I know, but the mall doesn’t have them at all. That soulless atmosphere tells you that it doesn’t intend to have such problems – ever.

Of course it is merely a shopping mall and shops are shops, but the whole place is managed very professionally. High streets have no chance.
