Letter: 'Here are 3 things Chesterfield must do to progress'

I recently visited Leicester on a three night holiday so as to see and do the attractions.

We noticed three times things about the city which Chesterfield need to apply in order to progress;

(1) The buses ran every 7 minutes

(2) In a radius of a 5 minute walk of the clock tower all of the streets were perdestrianaged

(3) The shops in the city centre including John Lewis were open until 8pm.

Given that we are having a local government Reorganisation (LGR) it would be doubtful whether any of my proposals would take effect before the 2028 deadline. However if any of the current crop of councillors are considering being in politics after then, may I advocate that they take my words to heart?
