Save Ledbury's local shops

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:34:07 +0000

Now is the time to write and object to Sainsbury's proposal for an out of town superstore in Ledbury.
If you felt strongly about Tesco, you must act now and stop Sainsbury's stealing in by the back door and ruining Ledbury's High Street. If they succeed at Planning Committee, Ledbury will go the way of Llandrindod Wells, Leominster, Alnwick, Helston, Cullington and scores of other towns up and down the country that have been ruined by out of town superstores.
