Sainsbury’s will be asked to help struggling Shrewsbury businesses
Friday 4th March 2011, 7:30PM GMT.
Supermarket giant Sainsbury’s will be asked to stump up cash to help promote struggling businesses in Shrewsbury town centre under a deal to expand its store in the town, officials said today.
John Hall, chairman of the Shop in the Loop organisation in the town centre, said his group was still locked in negotiations with the supermarket but were hopeful of a deal being reached by next Thursday.
A planning application to expand the store in a move which could create up to 70 jobs was deferred last month by councillors who wanted Sainsbury’s to pay out more in a Section 106 legal agreement.
This will include cash for marketing businesses in the town centre as well as subsiding buses in the area.
The plans are due to go back before Shropshire Council’s central planning committee next Thursday and are recommended for approval by officers.
Mr Hall said he believed an agreement would be reached between Shop in the Loop, Destination Shrewsbury, and Sainsbury’s and the plans would be approved at the meeting. He said: “There is an offer and we are still talking to Sainsbury’s but I think we will have something agreed next week.”

Oh please – what a load of cobblers – too little too late.
If you want to see what most of the UK will look like shirtly – then take a look at the mess America is in. Vast areas of poverty punctuated by pockets of extreme and excessive wealth – and gated communities to keep them apart. Ghost towns with completely dead high streets – all the “Mom and Pop” (i.e. small family) businesses put out of action by corporates and weak politicians lining their own pockets.
Welcome to your children’s future.
