Asda have just got planning permission to build a big new store in Sheffield,2 minutes drive to a big retail park which already has a Sainsburys.
The new Asda store will be 10 minutes drive to an existing one,which is very big.

Also Tesco have nearly finished one at the edge of the city centre.I drove pass this today and I have never seen a store so large  ....It is enormous.

Why do councils keep giving planning permission to these companies.......they are destroying town and city centres.The small independent shop hasn't a chance to compete,not with the buying power of Tesco and Walmart(who own Asda)

There is a plus side here though, you know when you go to the smaller more select shops that the great unwashed will be elsewhere

Most of our small local shops aren't select........right off to have a shower
