The manager of The Shires shopping centre, Trowbridge town centre's biggest retail site, says she doesn't believe parking charges are to blame for Knees' decision to relocate.

Sarah-Louise Moore said: "I hadn't heard the news myself, so I will have to go away and find out more about it, but I don't think it's right to blame it on parking.

“The town centre car parking is quite expensive, however there is still a lot of free parking in and around Trowbridge, and our car park is only 80p, which is one of the cheapest in Wiltshire.

“It’s not free, but there are some very cheap options, and Knees have a free car park for customers behind the electrical store, so I think that’s a bit of a cop-out.”
