| I've not had a McDonalds burger in decades. Not a fan of them at all, but I have used the local one, the coffee and breakfasts are good as is the ice cream. But one thing I will say is the site is kept impeccably clean, inside and out. When one sees the slovenly way many treat the place both inside and outside it is amazing how hard the staff work to keep it clean and tidy. The car park is regularly steam cleaned and the vegetation kept properly maintained. That's more than can be said for most others locally. I do like Lidl, Aldi less so. But neither are true supermarkets with the gamut that Morrisons, Tesco Sainsbury's or Waitrose has. Lidl is more like Iceland. But fresh meat fish and wide choice is not something they do. I do not want to drive to the supermarket. We can walk most times and just use the car for large items or the bigger bi-weekly shop. But it is a short journey. Going to Tescos or elsewhere, our preference is the Richmond/Sheen Sainsburys takes ages and is a car only run. It makes no sense at all to lose a hub supermarket for smaller retail units, most of which will never be viable here. I really hope that Guy's colleagues and even the opposition will endeavour to seek every nook and cranny to prevent such a daft change. And I hate to say it but Planning is now so remote from the real world that it is no surprise that most of it is completely incomprehensible and thus impossible for residents and councillors alike to be able to make any sort of clear decisions. . |
