Boster I love comments like yours, its people with an attitude like yours that spell out the reason why we have run down town centres like Dudley, West Bromwich, Walsall etc.

We can never have enough of a successful product!!!!

Left to people like you we would have dirty, filthy run down shopping centres all over the UK, Merry Hill can flourish because it provides its patrons with a product that they want to pay for.

Dudley, West Bromwich, Walsall etc, can all compete with Merry Hill, once they get rid of the shackles of councils who want to bleed people dry, once they have got rid of councillors who see their only purpose on the council as being to punish people who enter their borough.

I have a relation who is very successful, his friends used to say “its ok for you, you have got money” his answer is always the same “you had the same opportunity as me” !!!!!

Dudley, West Bromwich, Walsall etc, can all be successful, do the same as Merry Hill, provide free parking, and clean up the area, make shops provide the customers with the experience they are willing to pay for.

Stop blaming Westfield for being successful.

I want to hear that last nail being put in the coffin of your town centre Boster, perhaps then people will get off their backsides and will instil into their councillors the fact that they are there to serve the public not to control their every aspect of their lives.

Merry hill will never solve it traffic problems cause of the high volumes at certain periods
Regeneration money should be spent on reopening the closed rds in dudley town centre to let trade return and help regenerate the once proud town centre

Philip Heminsley I agree with you mate I blame Merry Hill for the traffic problems as well, I drove past Manor Way the other night, the traffic was horrendous, I also drove down Kent Road towards Blackheath and that was like a car park, Mucklow Hill was no better just all solid traffic all the way back up the hill.

A couple of weeks earlier I travelled along the Dudley Southern Bypass to Burnt Tree Island, good job there were no traffic wardens about they would have had a field day, they could have accused all those drivers of parking violations.

Philip Heminsley is this starting to open your mind to the fact that there are traffic problems all over the Midlands and most are caused by amateurs trying to do a professional job, or to be more specific what fool tries to increase traffic flow by narrowing roads or restricting the number of lanes available to drivers like in Kent Road, Halesowen?? But its easier for people like you to blame Merry Hill.

Philip Heminsley, those traffic lights at the junction of Pedmore Road / Coppice Road / The Boulevard, have to be the most efficient ever and had traffic lights like that, been put in place of the Grange Road island, then motorists would not have had to suffer being parked on Manor Way night after night.
