I had heard that about the parking spaces too but like the ice rink, I didn't see it used so much. The Tesco/Sainsbogs invasion is getting beyond a joke. The metros and locals seem to be springing up like weeds. I'm no hypocrite, I will do a big shop in some supermarket or other because it is cheaper but I like to buy things like eggs, bread, milk, beer, snacks, last minute stuff etc from the local shops and their convenience outweighs the price. There is a new Tesco metro at Loughborough junction for gods sake. There are 5 local shops that have survived there side by side for years. Supersaver Express has been owned by the same family for 30 years, the Costcutter dude is one of my favourite people on the area, but I don't know if they will survive.
