Everyone wonders why they won't build a supermarket here in our village. Several of the major chains have tried, but the council never permits it. Hence, most people like us who can't really shop on the high street have to drive to another village to do our shopping. On one hand, they are preserving our quiet village life and the high street here by not allowing it to go forward. On the other hand, they could build a supermarket in the industrial estate, away from the high street, which would open up more jobs in our village and keep people shopping right here, instead of driving to another village to do their shopping. I can see both sides of the issue, really. I think many people would be very happy to have a Sainsbury's or other reasonably sized grocery store here, rather than expensive small food shops like the Co-Op and the Tesco Express, where you can really only buy the basics. On the other hand, no one wants a giant Tesco or Asda supermarket here bringing in loads of people from other nearby villages.
