The last meeting had a significant majority in favour of some supermarket but not one that will bully its way in and impose a load of other shops which together will export all profits to elsewhere whist closing the shops that did recover and start up again and which keep profits in the area. the regenration in Frome did not come from the supermarkets primarily but the establishment of new services and industry in Frome's industrial estates and offices and the work in nearby towns. Since more people are mobile now they commute in and out of Frome.<br /> frome needs not just low pay jobs in supermarkets but real industrial technological and new wave jobs which will benefit Somerset and UK in general. <br /> Social capital is the other thing that is difficult to measure but Frome has quite a lot of societies clubs hobby groups charities etc etc and these are the type of things that thrive in a real town with a real centre. Nobody mixes easily in towns whose centres have died so we need to be careful which supermarket we have, how many other shops we have, how they are sited so as to mix old and new and all the other buildings a town needs offices schools clinics etc etcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-48344601863187230762011-03-03T03:12:48.704-08:002011-03-03T03:12:48.704-08:00I am looking up this website as lifelong resident ...I am looking up this website as lifelong resident of the town.

This is not so. <br />At the last public meeting it appeared the question was more about what sort of supermarket and what else came with it. In numerous groups there was concern over the behaviour of the big four national supermarkets and whether there was a better more firendly solution that suited Frome and Somerset people that did not over whelme the towns community life. <br /> We see how one of the big four is behaving in Wells - it is more concerned with competing with another large supermarket (Tesco) than with suiting the needs and wishes of the people of Wells <br /><br />see the link below<br /><br /><br /><br /> http://www.thisissomerset.co.uk/news/Sainsbury-s-tries-Waitrose-niche-market-claim/article-3280699-detail/article.html<br /><br /> people do not like this sort of bullying and that is what gives rise to the questions asked at these meetingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-57219213240119354762011-03-01T14:20:25.830-08:002011-03-01T14:20:25.830-08:00supermarkets raising price of food much more than ...supermarkets raising price of food much more than inflation<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1361756/UK-food-price-rise-supermarkets-boost-margins-blame-inflation.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-26420817946482518522011-02-20T07:11:10.636-08:002011-02-20T07:11:10.636-08:00NEVER NEVER have a shop that appears to be empty -...NEVER NEVER have a shop that appears to be empty - It depresses an area and keeps entrepreneurs away who might oterwise open up<br /><br /><br />http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/230119/Artful-dodge-could-virtually-improve-town-centres-looksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-38290809076130452112011-02-19T02:23:47.709-08:002011-02-19T02:23:47.709-08:00the proposal skewed too much towards the Saxonvale...the proposal skewed too much towards the Saxonvale area - it was too 1990sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-8220902191088281782011-02-19T02:22:22.031-08:002011-02-19T02:22:22.031-08:00For anyone who would like to send people to this t...For anyone who would like to send people to this thread, you can use this short link http://bit.ly/SaxoncommentsKatynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792878553913751433.post-9830806968396173772011-02-19T02:20:31.370-08:002011-02-19T02:20:31.370-08:00As was pointed out at the last meeting there were ...As was pointed out at the last meeting there were defects in the original proposalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
