Market Town or Ghost Town!?

In the cobbled streets of Ulverston I encountered a poster campaign regarding a new supermarket coming to town centre. For full details have a look at the North West Evening News write up here. But in a nut shell; local traders are disputing the plans for fear of Ulverston losing it's proud Market town status. When i saw the poster I could help notice that (a.) I nearly didn't notice it and (b.) there was just too much text and no imagery.
Something eyecatching like the poster Karmarama did for their local mini market when Sainsbury's moved round the corner would be much more effective and get the message across quicker.

Without getting too involved in the politics of the local town (although my love for the local butchers is known by many and a supermarket could effect trading!) The said poster needs some TLC, and I think I'm the one to do it! So watch this space!
