Just a few weeks since they opened, businesses in The Courtyard say they’re receiving a really positive response from visitors to the new shopping area in the heart of the town centre. The idea to convert part of the extensive property into a cosy courtyard came from Adrian Ward, who for many years has run Robson Ward, a successful furniture business at the premises on Belle Vue Terrace.
