The current edition of Focus asks what you think about the Westway development. Here are some replies we’ve had:

• We do not need a mega-supermarket but we do need a quality supermarket (M&S or Waitrose) in addition to the Co-op.
• The well-used Elms Parade/Westway is what the local people want. It needs a bit of renovation but large scale redevelopment would be a disaster.
• Co-op and Iceland serve us well. Large supermarket not welcome. The precinct just needs smartening up.
• Botley precinct needs to be refurbished and the whole area regularly cleaned, but we do not believe we need a mega store and support the Co-op fully. It’s in a local area serving local needs.
• I am in complete agreement with remarks made by Lib Dems. We do not want a big supermarket, the Co-op is fine.

(Maybe I should reproduce what the Lib Dems said in Focus.)
