HAVING read the article in last week's News, I agree with Joy Arnold. What is the matter with the town councillors in Ilminster?

The Tesco issue has been rumbling on forever, the goal posts being continually moved - nothing seems to be happening except for a lot of mess and a request for 82 proposed advertising posters - who needs those? Ilminster needs its supermarket. Get on with it.

I cannot understand why the town council, the planners and the developers can't agree with the common sense plan for the site - the car park to remain where it is near to the centre of Ilminster which will suit everyone, Tesco adjacent with the delivery bay behind the supermarket and then the houses - if Ilminster really does need yet more houses.

Canal Way was a short sighted development in view of the fact that (I am led to believe) a supermarket had been envisaged on the proposed site in Shudrick Lane as part of the town plan for some years. Why is it so narrow? There is/was plenty of space for a wider road when it was constructed - Canal Way just was not designed to cope with all the extra traffic the supermarket will generate, particularly delivery lorries.

I feel sure that more people will shop in Ilminster once the supermarket is up and running - there are many families who, at present, disappear off to Yeovil, Chard and Taunton for their weekly shop - with the supermarket in town the other shops should benefit too. I hope so.

Perhaps your paper could publish a picture of the revised design of the building and layout.
