SO, once more, the third consultation as to what happens to the Warrener Street car park is held later in the day, when it is dark and for some, a mile away.

The people who want the supermarket, mostly, do not own cars so can’t get to the consultation. Then it looks like nobody wants it, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

The banner-waving We are Sale Moor could probably shop anywhere they want as they all have access to a car.

The national average for non-car owners is one in three. Out of 16,000 residents in Sale Moor, work it out. That’s a lot of families who don’t own cars and of those that do, the husband has to get to work somehow. So if he goes in the car - that leaves the mother at home to get the shopping.

Not one shop in Sale Moor is accessible to disabled people. Large shops should have no steps and doors which can open as you approach, which is what happens in Sale at Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury’s and Aldi and which would happen at the new supermarket.
