The new homeowners will no doubt be commuters, as there are no jobs in Clitheroe any more and most Clitheroe folk won’t be able to afford the new houses.

People don’t go into town now because they can't park.

There are too many empty shops because of astronomical rents and/or goods that are far too expensive for ordinary Clitheroe folk.

I can’t see there being that much extra trade.
