SO, the powers that be have decided that a supermarket would not be of benefit to the area, this after the scheme was passed by the full planning committee last year. They are ignoring the disabled who live here and have to go to Sale to shop where doors open automatically for them; nowhere in Sale Moor does that happen.

What about the people who don’t own cars, mostly old, or young mums with prams whose husbands have taken the car to get to work?

Cushman and Wakefield held two studies, one at Sale High School and one at Lime Tree School, both at night when old people and young mums can’t get out, and, just fancy, they collected 1,500 signatures against the proposal. There are 16,000 residents in Sale Moor: what happened to the other 14,500?

What will happen to the carers who shop for over 300 housebound people? We already have 15 takeaways!

The car parking situation is a nightmare, the roads around Sale Moor are choc-a-bloc and these aren’t shoppers. They work in Manchester where parking is very expensive and start to park from 8am onwards. There’s hardly anyone parked in Warrener Street car park.
