Just a reminder - the public meeting planned for this evening (Friday 11th Jan) at Dawlish Community College has been CANCELLED. It is hoped to reschedule it for sometime in February.
You didn't HAVE to go to Tesco's did you? If you had decided not to shop at Stoke's anymore then your nearest alternatives for fruit and veg would have been Teignmouth surely? 2 x co-ops there plus other greengrocers. (Oh, and by the by - I've bought fruit and veg from Tesco's before now and guess what.......?!)
Maybe, but - a large supermarket will exacerbate the cause(s) of local shops closing down
And then there would be even more empty properties along the Strand and Brunswick to join the Old Post Office. And I thought Dawlish town centre was up for regeneration!
I have heard it said that if Dawlish has a new supermarket one of its positive side effects will be that it will help increase the amount of trade for the shops in the town centre. I'm trying to work out how that will happen. Can someone tell me please?
