My own thoughts here is that the continued expansion of out of town shopping is destroying the fabric of our society, I also think that we ought to be addressing at national government level the problem that travelling for every shopping and leisure facility is becoming les and less environmentally sustainable.
Couldn't agree more Michael - when will planners realise that not everyone who lives in Ramsgate, Broadstairs or Margate has a car and if you have any mobility problems it is not easy lugging shopping home on a crowded Loop bus even if it is free. Tescos is a long way from the bus stop anyway. I do all my shopping in Ramsgate town centre even though there is limited choice and never go to the out of town shops or Westwood Cross, though I have used the small Tescos in Cliftonville once or twice - but that is right by a bus stop so easier to get to.
