This is a very good point Ashley - Stoke N/C & the moorlands working together - a North Staffs superpower of near half a million ppl? But Newcastle don’t like to be associated with S-O-T even though they speak the same accent, work in each others’ town/city and generally support same football teams - also Moorlands see themselves as rural with a quaint market town heritage, we’re seen as too ‘industrial’ for them I guess? So no harmony = no voice ….. ah well

One more thing, I was in Walsall centre fairly recently (about the same size as Hanley) but - unlike Hanley - there seemed to be a healthy % of families and OAP’s wandering around. I thought what’s the difference? Then I noticed pairs of hi viz security on the streets giving an atmosphere of safety - not rocket science is it? Anyone with connections on the council or with the city centre BID team is welcome to pass on these comments.
