The disaster that is overwhelming the retail sector in town and city centres has been accentuated by the COVID crisis. However the problems existed well before the virus struck. There is a desperate need for something to attract people into Tunbridge Wells, apart from the mayhem of boozers. One idea was to develop the town as a cultural centre and a major proposal was for a new theatre to replace and improve on the Assembly Hall which is slowly falling apart.
An unholy alliance of opposition parties, some members of the controlling party and a rat-bag of assorted local loud-mouths and foghorns killed the theatre scheme and with it any future the town may have had.
Now these self-same councillors are seeking to replace the leader of the council for failing to be dynamic in dealing with the consequences of the virus.
