Dear Editor,

After standing on the sidelines through this great debate I thought it was time I added my own thoughts.

I (like many I suspect) do my weekly shopping in Morrison’s in Cromer which is wholly down to convenience. On occasions I do however go into town to the butchers, grocers or the market to get certain items as not only do I feel that this gives me and my family better value for money and better quality products, but I like to do my bit for the local economy.

The products I buy in this fashion would equate to well over half the total of our weekly shop circa £50 per week.

However, as I said previously I do this only on occasions as I find the convenience of visiting Morrison’s far too alluring in comparison to the eternal struggle of finding parking spaces in
town as the quantity of goods I purchase in this manner would be too much to carry home.

I would be pleased for Tesco to come to the town so it would enable me park at the store and be able to do my other shopping in town.

In my case I do not support the argument that the local shops would suffer and I believe that for the reasons I have stated above in many cases a Tesco would only enrich the local economy and local shops could thrive.

Please let the planners have some sense and grant the wishes of what I feel is the vast majority of Sheringham residents and let us have a store which provides us with good value for the products  that we cannot source in town.
Regards, Michael Regis
