I quite often see people moaning about vape shops or Turkish barbers. I mean fair enough they look tacky as fuch but up to 19 percent of some Midlands Towns, shop fronts are vacant. That surely would be a more pressing concern. I would rather have a vape shop than an empty shop! At least it's contributing to the economy in some small way.
Let's worry about stopping town centers becoming ghost towns before we get precious about what the shops are.
