Love Rugby - Support First Thursday

Fewer people are visiting Rugby Town Centre - see http://rugby.lib.dm/a3SMk . However a group of Rugby traders are fighting back. Starting on Thursday 5 March shops and services in the town centre will have late night opening on the first Thursday of every month. There will be street entertainment, and special displays and discounts at some shops. Cllr Bill Lewis said "One of the most frequent complaints I get on the doorstep is the sad decline of Rugby town centre. I hope lots of residents will join in and back this local initiative".
