Some basic suggestions to get you going.

Check out Navenby. It just recently made featured status and is a good model to base your editing on.
Expand the lead, per WP:LEAD.
You have several sections which are simply bullet lists. For GA or FA you should be looking to make this into engaging or even brilliant prose.
Go easy on the images, on my browser, some actually overlap. Judicious use and placement so as not to go over the top should be considered.
For some of the commercial areas, just select the major ones to discuss, no need to list every single area. Same with cinemas and theatres - this isn't an alamanac, it's an encyclopaedia so it should really contain only items of note with justification.
More citations are needed, see Navenby for a good example of how many you'd expect in a featured article!

There's a lot you can do already but feel free to get in touch if you need more advice. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
