-As a dormitory town to Nottingham City across the River Trent, West Bridgford has never been dependant on it's own resources. The local town shopping centre continues to do well but in recent years high rents and business rates have largely driven out independent retails. The shopping centre is now dominated by chain coffee houses and charity shops. The town centre has three small supermarkets in Marks and Spencer, Iceland and the Co-op. M & S occupies the site of the old Manor House, once a club, more latterly a public house. Part of Bridgford Park was given over to the creation of additional public car park when M&S was built. There are two larger supermarkets, ASDA on Loughborough Road and Morrisons on the Gamston Estate.+As a dormitory town to Nottingham City across the River Trent, West Bridgford has never been dependant on it's own resources.

 Although gone from Central Avenue there are still 3 butchers in West Bridgford, one on [[business:butchers:rutherfords|Abbey Road]] another on Melton Road and a third in Edwalton. There is also a fishmonger on Melton Road. Although gone from Central Avenue there are still 3 butchers in West Bridgford, one on [[business:butchers:rutherfords|Abbey Road]] another on Melton Road and a third in Edwalton.
