500 Friends

We now have over 500 households who have formally signed up as friends of the lovewadebridge campaign, which is a larger level of support than Tavistock had when they fought off Sainsbury's. We mustn't be complacent, however, and if you all can persuade more friends to sign up, then so much the better.

Morrisons have applied!

The planning application for Morrisons in Wadebridge has today been received by the planning department.

Still waiting for those planning applications to arrive, but in the mean-time plenty to do. We’ve been taking an interest in updating the town plan - here’s the link to the 2004 version – and looking at ways to invigorate the town centre whatever comes along. Possibilities include the shop local loyalty scheme, the campaign to highlight the strength of Wadebridge’s independent sector locally and nationally (“declare independence”, “take these chains off your shopping” etc), free parking scheme for independent trading, Covent Garden type atmosphere in Molesworth Street with street entertainers, as well as a local and national reputation as an eco-shopping town.
