Macclesfield Tourism Brochure

I don't know if you've ever paid it a visit, but we have a tourist office located in the Town Hall. It's really a bit of a disappointment, as it seems to be geared towards providing locals with things to do away from Macclesfield, rather than things for visitors to do in Macc.

However I did find one publication produced by Macclesfield council promoting tourism in the area. And that's where I found this gem...

"Real shopping - real places"

If you want to spend some time browsing around unusual, independent and exclusive shops, East Cheshire is certainly the place to do it.
....
The real charm of East Cheshire shops is...not in faceless precints or soulless malls, but at the very heart of traditional market towns and unspoilt rural villages - the lifeblood of thriving communities.
....
Macclesfield is a wonderful mix of market shopping, quirky independants and the iconic interiors store Arighi Bianchi"


If this is what the authors saw fit to promote about Macclesfield, then why is this the exact thing that we're going to destroy with our plans for the Town Centre?
