DEBATE THE FUTURE OF WADEBRIDGE

Supermarkets on Cornish skylines

Wadebridge, like many towns in Cornwall, is very dependent on tourists. Call me a cynic but I don’t think that people spend hours traveling to Cornwall to look at supermarkets on Cornish skylines, which is the view they’d get approaching Wadebridge from any direction if Morrisons and Sainsburys open. Tesco already dominates the west side of the Camel, along with the appalling new Travelodge, and the horrendously conspicuous industrial units near by. The planners should ashamed at the siting and architecture that has been approved in the last few years. It’s arguable that the Camel Trail will always attract tourists, but many visiting for the first time come upon it by chance when they visit the town. With the town surrounded by supermarkets its highly unlikely tourists will be bothered to come in at all (Phillip Gough).
