Owners of the land on which a Sainsbury's supermarket was built have called on Shropshire Council to throw out plans for a big new Marks & Spencer Foodhall a mile down the road.
How the M&S Food Hall would look. Picture: Corstorphine and Wright.
They also say the former Budgens store in Ludlow town centre represents a better site than at Sheet Road. It adds that planners should wait to see what the impact of Sainsbury's is on the town centre traders before deciding to give the go-ahead. Davies Street Ludlow says that the Sainsbury's provided Tesco and Aldi with much needed competition but the M&S would be bad for the town."More importantly, M&S will compete more directly with independent shops in the town centre that also focus on providing quality products, threatening the viability and vitality of the town centre at a time when councils should be supporting small retailers and the high street.
"This is considered not to be harmful as M&S customers are already likely to be undertaking an element of convenience shopping at M&S elsewhere."
