J. Bruce Parker asks... What new retail stores would you like to see in Wortley Village? With the closing of The Company Bar, which rebranded into Rebel Layne, and the fall and rise of both Sha Choix and Black Walnut Café, which were both lost to fire, Wortley Village is vibrant with change and growth.
With the days warming up, I patrolled the streets to ask what new businesses local folk would like to see in the village. Not an easy question to answer, as I found out, but here are a few suggestions.
