With the growing population in Bridgwater to not have a decent Post Office, Swimming Pool & a town centre that keeps people shopping within the town & not going elsewhere is absolutely deplorable. <br />I understand there is a body called the BRI (Bridgwater Retail Inititive) which received a grant for £52,000 for improving & generating shops within Bridgwater, but it appears that little improvements have been made of any great significance over a 10 year period. I understand that some grants were issued to small businesses but did this amount to £52,000? I also am led to believe that there was a Mary Portas grant of a sum I am not privy to with a top up given of £10,000. Having spoken to a number of retailers, none were aware of this situation. How has this money been deployed. There are a number of questions I would be interested in having answered but prefer to stay anonamous due to being ostracised.
