Good to see Main Street progress

IT has been pleasing to see the progress of work that has been taking place on Cockermouth's Main Street over the last couple of weeks.

During January and some of February many of the buildings were still drying out and people were getting frustrated with the lack of work that was going on.

However, building work has now started on many of these buildings and a lot of them could be opening up within the next couple of months.

Three will be open within the next two weeks with The Paper Shop on Main Street opening on Monday, Lily and Co in Market Place opening on Wednesday and Strolling 4 Shoes opening on April 1.

It is a sign that the town is returning to normality and businesses are getting back on their feet despite the hardships thay have had to face in the previous months.

Hopefully more businesses will not be far behind and Main Street can return to the thriving place it once was.
