Crediton Residence and their Opinions

PEOPLE in Crediton have been giving opinions on how the town can be improved.
Joyce Huxtable, 78 from Orchard Court wants seats on both sides of the High Street for those who find it difficult getting around. She also expressed concern at the cancellation Chiddenbrook Surgery bus service.
Retired Carole Pocock is hoping that Tesco will improve shopping and that pollution where she lives on the High Street can be reduced. She also thought that there needed to be more space in town for parking.
Parking problems were also a view shared by Fifty year old Elaine Page from Churchill Road. Elaine who works in Stevie B’s Bakery said the town needed a Primark and that the arrival of Tesco should make her weekly shop cheaper.
58 year old Pete Spooner from Tebensmary continued the trend of people dissatisfied with the town’s parking facilities. “Finding a place to park is especially difficult during the weekend.” He also suggested that the Square could be improved to make it more amenable; however he hoped that the character of the town wouldn’t be lost.
Retired musician, Tony Truscott, 55 from Park Street spoke highly of Crediton after moving there from St Austell. “The streets are clean, the people are friendly. I would like to see more police officers at night and more disabled parking, but other than that it’s perfect.”
However Seb Worthington, 20 disagreed. “Crediton is on its way out. You know when a town is on the way out when you’ve got charity shops and estate agents.” Seb, a jeweller from Morchard Road suggested that the town could encourage people to visit if it promoted its history as a market town. “That way people from all over would come and spend more money and with that the town could be improved.”
