Out & About Abergavenny

Third town centre out & about in ten days took me for the first time to the attractive place that is Abergavenny, just for a look-see in this case rather than a #TheVacantShopsAcademy ‘audit’.

Reflecting on these recent three, and much of the conversation about whether a town needs a USP, if it can have more than one, might there be a version for residents and something different for visitors…? Does it need apply all year round, or can it just be for a handful of days / weeks in a year…?

Interesting also how different elements play their part: food & drink, markets, #retail, #hospitality, heritage, history, arts & crafts, culture, creative including #streetart. What else…?

It’s an interesting #highstreet #placemaking debate.
