Letter: Depriving locals

placeholder image

I overheard in a queue at the tills in the Co-op shopping centre at Churchstoke, Powys last week, a couple discussing which supermarket they would try next, possibly Welshpool.

It transpired they had travelled from Wolverhampton in order to carry out their ‘raid’.

So, not only can we thank them for depriving locals of supplies, but also for their consideration in visiting us from an area with an acknowledged concentration of coronavirus cases.
