DEBATE THE FUTURE OF WADEBRIDGE

Wadebridge Store Wars - the movie?

If this was a film about a small town under siege from commercial giants you'd say that the writers had got rather carried away and that the script just wasn't plausible. But it's true. We now have a pincer movement from THREE huge out-of-town superstore developments. Tesco too has announced its plans to add some 20,000 square feet to its store. So we can now look forward to over 75,000 square feet of new out-of-town retail space, over 10 square feet per man, woman, child and dog in the town. Fortunately the tide has turned in the planning rules so that it really is possible to stop developments like this now, and we are determined to do so.
