New Shopping Centre or Facelift Required For Slough High Street

We the undersigned petition the council to The council is carrying out regeneration phases around Slough which is very important for the local community. They are trying to build houses to help the people of Slough and also trying to attract more people to the town. The problem which has been with our town for many years is that our high street is not good enough. We have average businesses opening shops which you would not see in shopping centres around the country, we also have too many pound shops.

To find a decent shopping centre and for a shopping experience the nearest shopping centre we can have to is Westfield in London. Slough used to have many top branded shop names many years ago but slowly and slowly they all disappeared due to the downfall of the high street.

Places such as Uxbridge, Watford, Harrow which are smaller towns than Slough have much better shopping centres which cater for the local community and the wider audience. Slough is a business hub, more transports link are being built and talked about but the council has no idea of how to improve the shopping experience side of the business.

The community would like Slough Borough Council to take serious considerations into the idea of looking to improve the shopping centre. This would attract more people and also attract more businesses to relocate to the empty office blocks that are all around Slough

The council need to look at the image of Slough and when it comes to attracting people they will take a look at the shopping facilities. We have the likes of Marks and Spencer, Debenham's, Next, Jd Sports, Argos and Primark as our decent shops. The variety is not the same it was many many years ago.

SIGN THIS PETITION TO SUPPORT THE IDEA. THE MORE SIGNATURES WE GET THE BETTER IT IS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
