More businesses means more jobs and higher income for the town, and more facilities for residents. What's not to like?

And now for the Big Conversation!
This is your opportunity to talk about "Visit Witney"... Why visitors should come to our town, what's nice about Witney and what is not, what could be done to improve the town for visitors and give them an even better experience, the ways that residents might benefit (or for that matter not benefit), how Witney compares with other similar towns... The floor is entirely yours!
We have deliberately not started with lots of photographs and descriptions of the best-known Witney sites and sights, because we do not wish to lead the conversation... but wish the direction to come from you. So you are very welcome to add any and all photographs etc to your posts to help make your points, and we will build galleries to illustrate how we all see Witney as the conversation develops.
To help keep things as easy to follow as possible, we have set out some 'categories', and invite your posts, and comments on those posts, exactly as you please.
And now, over to you... Please log in and kick off!

Yes BUT the town needs to accomodate those visitors. Transport links / signage to the town / signage in the town / more things for people to do both residents and visitors (the town is very much turning into a retirement town at the moment with a poor variety of outlets for young and teenage children, restrictions on and failure to plan for late night entertainment options) / more parking / better traffic flow in the town centre (ie corn street) / more events to attract visitors and better promotion of the town.
Absolutely agree! Burford has 1400 residents and 68 shops! It's visitors that does that. And while some moan a little because of the number of galleries and gift shops... They also have a butchers, and a cheese shop, clothes shops, supermarket, restaurants... Any other (non-visitor) town of 1400 residents would be lucky to have a couple of shops and pubs!
