Town needs a boost
We exhibited at a wedding fayre in Middleton-on-sea earlier on this year, and the majority of the people we spoke to were locals who came from Middleton, Felpham, Elmer, Aldwick and Rose Green, who had never heard of our shop, and said that they do not shop in Bognor.
Instead they shop at Chichester, Rustington and Worthing.
The comments were that Bognor was a rundown town and not worth shopping in; also they were unhappy with the amount of foreign people in town and do not feel safe, especially in the evening.
