Not sure why you think there is a snobbery about Teesside Park. It has clear design faults which make it a massive pain to visit at busy times. Whether it's poor public transport links or tailbacks caused by a badly designed system of roads getting into it.We go to Northallerton and stokesley regularly I would rather spend money at small independent retailers and local butchers bakers local markets etc than national stores. The kids won't set foot in stockton and the only time they go into Boro is to Primark. It's a real issue knowing what to do with Boro town centre as it's spread out more than Stockton. . MBoro seems to be clinging on to the notion it can still be a retail town when the reality is they might as well concede now and bulldoze the hill Street centre. I am quite enthusiastic about Stockton's plans for the Riverside at least it's got a post retail strategy. Lots of snobbery around teesside park as well on this thread it's functional and does what it says on the tin with free easy access for cars
And most people would love to spend at small independent retailers but they are often more expensive. Sadly for a lot of people in this area they can't be as choosey as you.
