Unluckiest Town in the country !!!!!

After 3+ years (maybe longer) Whittlesey/Village residents still await a ‘Supermarket’ – well reading ‘Sainburys’ financial outlook in todays papers – looks very much like they will NOT be building for sometime to come.
I stated some 2 years ago the number of Supermarkets within a 9 mile radius of our town, whether they be Tesco, Sainsbury, Morrison, Asda, Waitrose, Lidl, Aldi, Iceland, Co-Op or NISA – that’s a choice of 10 to start with.
I sympathise with our residents and our frustration in not getting anything conclusive – especially a potential country park (I was at their meetings from the beginning).
A potential business park – all in limbo.
This is not a fault of any of our councillors, many of whom have ‘worked’ their socks off to try and get the right thing done….. Is it/was it just bad luck.
I am seriously considering in approaching a friend of mine, who happens to have a nice plot of land on West End that’s been derelict for years – maybe, just maybe Aldi of Lldl maybe interested in Whittlesey? who knows….
