Rotherham has it all

IT’S absolutely fantastic news that Rotherham came top of the pile as Best in Britain’s town centre High Streets.

I’ve trumpeted Rotherham in this paper for a long time after seeing plenty of other towns and cities in this country when others have pulled Rotherham down. I even ventured that some letter writers had other political agendas or didn’t get out and about.

Christmas is nearly here and there are plenty of shops for gifts for all pockets and food for all tables. In one of my letters I mentioned The Ring Shop and Andrew’s butchers, still tops. Westgate, High Street and the old Market Hall, Rotherham has it all. The double yolk eggs from the market, veg, clothes at all prices. You would have to go a long way to beat Rotherham, our town, our pride. Along with this good news The Millers are in striking form as we all knew they would be. 

Thanks to all traders in Rotherham for your hard work to make our town stand out and thank you to all townies for being yourselves, well done.
