Why another supermarket?

Have your say!


Dear Editor,

Re:-Hawkinge foodstore planning application declared invalid

Why would Hawkinge need another supermarket? - Edinburgh Land Estates have not even yet found a tenant for the building.
 

We have 2 supermarkets Lidl and Tesco express, plus less than 5 minutes drive away we have 5 supermarkets operated by 4 major chains, Sainsbury's have 2 sites, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons.

Most people who live in the village will have a car and can access these chains, those that don’t would likely have the internet and could have shopping delivered , and those that do not are in such I minority why are we catering for them?

Seems that the minority have managed up to now.

I am a construction director and have worked on many supermarket and shopping centre developments, all made sense - this certainly does not.
