About the Planning

Online Parliamentary Yearbook Shares: " There appears to have been a rise in the number of so-called trolley-rage incidents in recent years as more shoppers ignore traditional high street shops and choose to visit large supermarkets."

If Newport do not want another out of town centre competing with their local shops then they clearly have a fight on their hands- but this comment above belies Sainsbury's claims that their proposed store will not have any impact and will in fact improve shopping in the town centre ( which it wont because people will drive to Sainsbury's , do their one stop shop, as Sainsbury's does electricals, books, cds, dvds, stationery and clothes as well, and then go home- they wont on the whole decide to do an add on trip into Newport for an alternative experience.




Online Parliamentary Yearbook Shares: Our sclerotic planning system put a brake on economic growth and on job creation at a time when we really need some.  And it has left us with 5 million people waiting for homes while successive governments have presided over an ever-declining number of new home being built each year - an unnecessary  scarcity which also fuelled the inflationary bubble which burst so spectacularly in 2008.
