Number of empty shops in Leicester city...

Give ART FOR CHANGE more shops they fill it with art work! This is what Leicester needs the POP-UP Exhibitions are a good idea the council should not miss out on this opportunity.

I visited the exhibition it was fresh and I agree Leicester needs it I visited both POP-UP exhibitions the one in the Highcross and the one that is on now on Hallford street in the city centre.

Empty shops?

Two reasons for it, in my view.

There is the economic crisis which affects the retail industry, added to the big push from the supermarkets.

There is also a change in the purchasing pattern; people don't need so many shops - they buy on line.

So, nothing to worry about. Maybe in future, most retail shops will disappear from our high street, and our town will cease to be huge shopping malls.

There are plenty off pound shops now every where!
Leicester is one big £1 shop :)

Well, that's one way of beating the recession, isn't it?

Sell everything for One Pound ...

Wonder if it might be the councils charges are much to high and render people unable to afford guess money has to come from somewhere for the councils trips to wherever for whatever.

Leicester suffers from too many monkeys and not enough organ grinders.

here is a clue - the council is happy to spend a lot of money on a statue of Gandhi,(a little Indian lawyer with absolutely NO connection to Leicester). some priorities wrong here!

Nothing wrong in promoting non-violent activism, for a change.

Ahh Ghandi......the racist. Hope there's no black folk in Leicester, if I were black, I'd be the first one to complain.

The council didn't pay for it dumbass. It was 100% privately funded.

<quoted text>again , none. I suppose that was another attempt to keep our "minorities" happy, although why we need statues of foreigners , I don't really see.

Actually the majority in Leicester are asians

Landlords will not drop rent though, it's crazy. Rates are still the same, rates should be lowered slightly
