I'm always a little bit amazed when a letter or a posting here actually gets noiced to the extent of generating a reaction back to me, and back to the community. So I was a little amazed to get a phone call from Asda this afternoon ... based on my posting of a few days ago, in which I expressed concern at some elements of their plans to bring a new store to the town, and how they had handled it.

I do appreciate at this early stage there are many questions yet to be answered. But it seems to me that there is a difference between a company that prioritises wanting to work with the local community, and a company that prioritises maximum short term return on investment at the expense of sucking that profit out of the locale in which they trade. And this difference is manifested and cultured from very early in their planning process.

See my original aricle and comments:
