What is Porty missing?

[Mark Cameron]

There are a fair number of empty shops/pubs on the main street at the moment (perhaps a sign of hard times biting).

There are also a lot of cafe/takeaway/charity shops.

I was interested to know what the members of the forum thought Porty was missing.

My own thougts are a decent stylish bar (perhaps the new wine bar will fill this gap). Although Dalriada is decent the current owner does little to make the place stylish which is a shame as I think it has the potential to be a goldmine with a few fairly simple tweaks.

I also think there's room for an organic cafe which also caters for children.

Interested to hear others thoughts on what services would make Porty a better place.

I reckon we need a better playpark, at least on the sea-side of the High Street. The two we have are really forlorn little spots compared to others you see all over the place.
