LETTER: We don’t have nice shops in the town anymore

I cannot get a Voice every week as I don’t get one delivered so I missed the story Enough is Enough, but I do agree with the letters, like one letter said Spalding is not a nice place to live.

I was born in Spalding and have seen change – not for the good.

I now go once a month down to my son’s so I can go shopping in some nice towns and shops.

Just look at Spalding – we don’t have nice shops in the town anymore.

Who wants to take two buses down to Springfields? I don’t, as I don’t like it down there.

The council should make the shops take down the cardboard from the windows as they don’t look nice.

Like one letter said, Spalding is getting like Boston and Wisbech as well.
