LETTER: Spalding is not a nice place to live

Just wanted to say how pleased I was to see your article “Enough is enough”.

How many more European supermarkets are the council going to allow?

I agree, how can they be legitimately making a profit given how many stores there are vs. demand?

Surely if a business owner is caught supplying illegal contraband, they shouldn’t be granted permission to open another premises?

Large areas of our town are dominated by these stores and it has to have a knock-on effect to larger, much needed, chains looking at coming into the town; as someone who was born locally, went to uni then moved back for work and family, I generally avoid going shopping in town and I’m constantly considering selling up and moving out of Spalding as it’s just not a nice place to live anymore.
