“No new supermarket” group pleased with support from shoppers
The “Action Group against New Supermarket in Newcastle Emlyn” were out in force last Friday (12th June) in town with stalls and banners and even a town crier, putting their case to the public.
They gathered hundreds of signatures against the proposed supermarket development and said that 80 per cent of the people they spoke to were against the building of the supermarket.
Several shops including Fleur de Paris, Little Bite. Little Gems, Fedwen Bakers, Renaissance, The Makers Mark and Ty Croeso Deli closed at 11am, their owners joining the street campaigning.
Chair of the action group, Tim Swann said:
“The great news is that the large majority of the people on the street were solidly against another supermarket. And all seemed very up to speed on the reasons”.
Could the mystery supermarket company be Sainsbury’s?
