    The vacant shops really give oor auld toon a depressing look as not only are smaller premises empty but huge
    places like Patties, Palings and the once lovely shop Blacklock and Farries in Church Crescent.

    Great to hear that pal - wonder what the score is with the old bank at the end of English Street and the ex - Santander
    building up near the Steeple both of which were supposed to be getting developed as restaurants ?

    An absolute disgrace. One of the key tourist attractions in the town centre allowed to degrade to such a state.
    What are the council waiting for ? A group of well intentioned local citizens to feel shamed into doing their work for them ?
    I don't think it is something Jardi's group could undertake without specialist equipment including Health and Safety and probable insurance.

    I was up in Glasgow last week and noted that the statues in George Square all had scaffolding and sheeting around them whilst undergoing cleaning work. Surely even our beleaguered Council can generate the funds necessary to do this small piece of maintenance considering the amount that was spent refurbishing the grounds it sits on !!!
