Arena Park Bad For Bedworth?

Arena Park is now well established with brimming car parks at all times of the day. Its fine array of shops and extended opening times is attracting hundreds of shoppers daily. Anyone who has called in to the shopping mall on a Sunday has found that it difficult to to find a parking spot.

Is this good or bad news for Bedworth? Opinion varies - we interviewed several shoppers to guage strength of feeling about the Town that is closest to Arena Park. The majority of interviewees thought that the Arena would definately have a detrimental effect on Bedworth shops but for one of the Town's residents, Wendy Stubbs, thought that certainly not the case. Wendy explains "I have used Tescos in Bedworth since it opened 10 years ago. There may have been a reduced number of shoppers in the first few weeks of the Arena opening but the numbers have returned to normal. Also the shops that have come to the Arena would have never considered locating in Bedworth. If anywhere will suffer it will be Coventry!".
