threegee Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Lack of interest and new membership. Yes, unarguably, apathy rules. But there's still a lot of people rooting for Bedlington, even if quite a few of those have already voted with their feet, often through necessity!Tragic when anyone/thing gives up. Even more tragic to burden new generations with a defeatist mindset. I believe the BDT can more than make up for this, and it deserves everyone's full support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryg Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It is disappointing to see the Chamber of Trade fold, and perhaps I could have done my bit and joined, but a quick look down the Front Street is enough clue as to why there was little interest. Unless you are a hairdresser or beautician it seems there is no business for you in the town. I would, I suppose, have felt something of a charlatan as most of my business is from overseas sources.

Adam Hogg Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 how does it support so may estate agents if there is a lack of housing in Bedlington like what the county council says there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercuryg Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Or a tattooist, Merc. How on Earth does Bedlington support two tattoo parlours? Given the high rents I have no idea. The estate agents question is easy - not all the houses they sell are in Bedlington, and the commission they make is colossal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
