2,500 people signed a petition asking for action to prevent the loss of our town centre supermarket.  We the undersigned support that action and demand that the site is retained as a full service supermarket.  The Council were of the opinion that this store was essential to the sustainability of the town when it was first developed 25 years ago.  The huge expansion of the town since only augments that need and demand.  The store provides vital jobs and footfall and perrmits the purchase of a varied and healthy diet within walking distance of our homes.  It should not be redeveloped in any other format.
