Why do you love Tamworth? Hashtag your photos of the city with #OurTamworth to show the nation what we have to offer.
I like the shops available in Tamworth that Armidale doesn't have the variety of food
And the centre point cinema complex
Plus you guys have the marigold which I reckon has got to be the best value Chinese food in Tamworth

Why not go one better and build a water park with slides etc. If the money is going to be spent it may as well be spent on a tourist attraction and job creation.
