The points you make are valid and are termed “retail opportunity.” The opportunity for business we need in Station lane has been driven away with every new food outlet that opens.
The task to stop the Lane folding was to find a new supermarket. This will be the turning point. The reason is something many would not consider. A new anchor store will bring new customers? The volume will be such that other companies will wish to come also. I was not certain myself as I have not been in a situation like Featherstone at the moment before but all ready due to the new NETTO the old Kwik Save site has been sold again last week. That’s not the end of enquires from other large companies looking to move in. the next couple of months will see some very positive announcements. They will not be an over night solution but at least on the right road forward.
