I AM one of many of Sale Moor residents who does not have a car.

I recently wanted a tarragon herb, but there was nowhere in Sale Moor village to get it. I then walked to Tesco on Norris Road, but it was not to be seen.

It is not a day out getting a bus or walking to Sale supermarkets, it is a necessity.

I would welcome a supermarket but not what we have in Sale already. I think a Lidl would be welcome and so do a lot of other people.

I have lived in Sale Moor all my life and do not want to see local independent shops close and I don't think they will.

I went to Aldi in Didsbury a few years ago, I then became a regular to the small shops - fishmongers, cheese shop.

People actually like to going to the small shops. I go to Sale Moor every day and never see the shopkeepers doing their weekly /monthly shop there.
