NFR - Castleton 10:59 - Jan 13 with 7206 viewsDalenet

Every time I drive through Castleton I can't help but remember that it used to look more attractive than it does today. With no offence to anybody living there but it looks like it is falling down. People deserve better and the private sector is unlikely to be able to fix it

Is it time for the council to look for a major rebuild of the roads and buildings alongside Manchester road from Nixon Street right through to the Ford garage. It would be a big job, people would need to be protected as would some of the great businesses such as Smiths. An attractively designed modern village setting would then bring more investment. After the town centre redevelopment is finished this must be the next priority. Any views?

Not Castleton but our own town centre.

Whilst the actually centre is ever so slowly improving with the welcome addition of new bars / restaurants and shops...... Drake St OMG looks third world!.

I walked down It from the train station to the bus terminus recently on a dark wet day and it looked terrible.

Lets hope the centre regeneration starts to creep up the hill.

Strange thing to say I know, but the main road in Castleton looks better when all the take aways are open. Although I'm not a fan of take aways, at least they look better than closed down and boarded up premises. Unfortunately, when the take aways are closed during the day the shutters are down and the effect doesn't help the appearance of the area.
