Old town Leamington (South of the river) has a big problem with drunks walking the streets with their cans of strong lager/cider etc. It really isn't very nice to see, especially for the young kids. This isn't helped by the fact that Nisa Metro (formerly Michaels Supermarket) sells cheap booze. You always get these hideous people hanging around outside there. You also get silly little teenagers hanging around outside asking adults going in to buy them "fags" or booze.

Now the old Comet building (where Tiles r Us were as well) has been truned into a booze warehouse, selling cheap booze also. Is there really any need for it down the bottom of town? With Costcutter only round the corner, and Somerfield supermarket just up the road as well, I think not.

The decision to allow this shop to open is ridiculous in my opinion.

Apart from Argos, and the vastly overpriced SonyCentre and House Of Fraser, there is nowhere IN town now that sells electrical goods. For those people without cars, it is becoming increasingly difficult to purchase electrical goods within walking distance of our homes.

The masses of empty shop units in old town leamington are beginning to be filled, but with all the wrong types of business.

A new mobile phone shop has opened up opposite the Jug & Jester where Anglian WIndows used to be. Did we really need a new mobile phone shop? NO!

On Clemens Street, TWO new takeaways (One indian, one a kebab shop) are currently being done out. Do we need any more of these places? NO!

It's getting ridiculous in my opinion. The pointless mobile phone shop apart, everywhere that is opening up seems to be encouraging the wrong type of people to old town.
