Local towns are not clones
Sunday 3rd October 2010, 12:00AM BST.
Feature writer Ben Bentley has been assessing the state of Shropshire’s market towns for this week’s Sunday Supplement.
He says the town’s are retaining their individuality, unlike towns in many other parts of the UK which are becoming ‘clones’.
Business Editor Amy Bould backs up his findings, reporting that market towns across the region are faring well because of their strength and diversity.
Host Andy Richardson recalls an amusing episode with a pyschic, Joe Power, who gave read his aura, during preparations for a performance in Telford.
