I think it was Chris Tarrent who said that "Happiness was Slough in the rear view mirror" and he may have been right, at least as far as a lack of patchwork shops is concerned.
However, a major revamp of Slough town centre is on the cards . . .
It made the front page of the local papers . . .
What do you reckon they'll spend the money on? A new rubbish bin? Six month's tax for the Mayor's car? An artist to paint what it could be like if they were to spend a bit more money?
NOW I hope your sympathy is more sincere, I bet your town council spend more on your town centres!
I hope they don't spend it all at once!!
ReplyDeleteThey know how to splash the cash in Slough! Hope they spend it carefully
ReplyDeleteOch, you'd get at least 2 bins out of that. Maybe a couple of street lamp bulbs (although it might be better in the dark ;o) )
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes I looked it up - two household bins but you couldn't stretch to a yellow 500 litre one!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Perhaps Slough is so lovely already that it doesn't need much money spending on it....(although I haven't visited for some time and I recall it as a very ordinary sort of shopping centre, rather than somewhere that particularly invited a shower of bombs as Betjeman suggested).
ReplyDeleteI don't think they've spent as much as 50 quid on Northwich town centre, in fact, I think they are paying people to leave, looking the amount of empty shops!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the could buy some fabric to make bunting to cheer the place up !!
