The owners of Castle Garden Ornaments arrived to a nasty surprise this morning. Two windows were broken, and they had to board them up. But they’re keeping their spirits up and staying open for business. They even posted on social media, saying they still have plenty of ornaments for customers to check out.
Traders and shoppers alike are feeling the strain. One stallholder mentioned that it’s getting worse, recalling how their window was smashed just last week. They’re hoping the police can catch the culprits soon. Despite the damage, they’re encouraging people to come down and support the market.
One shopper expressed confusion over why anyone would vandalize a business. They just want to make sure everyone is okay and that nothing was stolen. Another person chimed in, saying it feels like things are getting worse all over Stoke-on-Trent. It’s a tough time for the community, and everyone is hoping for a turnaround soon.
