I am particularly concerned about our beautiful roundabout. The idea is hateful that some shops like Sainsbury can come along and dictate our town's road plan to us so that they can hasten their customers to their shops.
If it indeed had that effect. Like most other people I consider that roundabouts ease traffic flow, are low maintenance and don't rely on electricity to make them work.
I think that there are more important things than shopping. Where are the shoppers coming from? Macclesfield has a Sainsbury. Biddulph has a new one, we are inundated with supermarkets.
it is going to ruin things for our already hard pressed shops and small businesses. There is certainly isn't much money in people's pockets. We are in the grip of recession. What does Leek Council hope to gain from having a large supermarket like Sainsburys in its struggle for market share, against the wishes of a people it was elected to represent.
As for the programme of job creation I think we need to implement more intelligent schemes than those based on shopping and tourism
