    Remember when Church St. used to be a busy shopping street?

    Andrew Bowyer does - and that’s one reason why five years ago he opened the Dove Mill shop opposite the former Tesco Metro.

    Those days have well and truly gone - with Church St. now a shadow of its former self - but what’s upset Andrew even more is that not a single councillor or council officer’s contacted him to find out why he was shutting up shop and concentrating his business online.

    "We've had regular customers telling us how sad they are to see us go, but that’s it. Not a single councillor or council officer has spoken to me.

    "It’s all very well quoting footfall statistics but the fact of the matter is that this end of Church St. has been dying a slow death since Tesco left,” he concluded.

    And of course footfall doesn’t know the age of the feet - with very few younger families making Ormskirk a destination of choice nowadays...

    completly agree
    lets look at footfall , does a footfall moniter count how many people are using the shops ? or does it simply track people passing it in which case there are a number of people that pass it 10 times a day going to and from places such as students going from town centre dwellings to edge hill uni , town centre dwellings have increased 100% in the last three years which we all know so that doesnt give a true reflection im guessing
    unless i can be proven wrong id like to know ,
    if footfall is so good in the town then why are car parks half empty most days this is a fact as using the town centre car parks for some years i know over the last two years its easy to get a spaca between 9am and 12 noon where as they use to be full ?
    i rest my case
