REGARDING the shops at Canute Place.

M&Co is empty, the fish shop is empty and now Pets at Home is empty.

All three shops were hugely popular with much needed choice.

The old town hall has been empty for ages.

The Conservative Club at the roundabout, which was popular for functions and meetings, is closed.

Monckton Properties announced in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago that a new restaurant is to open in Knutsford. I’m sure all your readers will agree that we are desperately short of restaurants in Knutsford.

I think there were 25 plus at the last count.

Monckton Properties say they are heartened by interest shown by occupiers ideally suited to Knutsford.

I wonder what their definition of ‘ideally suited to Knutsford’ is?

In my opinion the ones that have gone were popular and ideally suited to Knutsford.
