As I say, is there any other issues that people think could have had a big impact on the area?
As you know,Kenny isn't the only area to suffer a decline in traditional shopping area's,etc! Peoples social habits have changed dramatically,with shopping now being done mainly, in large supermarkets,or the city centre,(which used to be quite empty,for half the week,in the 70's/80's)This is also apparent in the number of local pub's,and banks,which have closed,which has a knock-on effect on local businesses.West Derby rd,now has only 1 bank,which was only saved after a fight,but take that away, and watch the local shop's businesses,disappear! Smak,surely has an effect in accelerating the decline,but I dont think is the major reason!
