Another one for Stratford Residences, but I'm willing to be it applies to most areas in Warks. Like London, every spare square inch of Stratford is now being redeveloped as housing, they've literally built thousands of houses in Stratford over the last few years, and they are continuing to build more and more. Yet with this dramatic increase in population, we don't see any new shops being built.

Shopping in Stratford has always been average at best, I have to go to Brum to do man shopping. I also feel bad for the shop owners in Strat. The rent is so high that many of them can't afford to keep going. It's getting worse as well, the amount of shops coming and going can be counted weekly.

It's all very wrong. :(

I have to agree, shopping in Stratford is definately for the women, they badly need some new stores. Especially since they're building hundreds of new houses, like you said.
