Letters to the Editor - Calne Missing Out Yet Again!

Written by: Staff Reporter

Dear Editor

I’ve just read that Wootton Bassett are getting a Lidl store. They also have Aldi as do other towns nearby!
Why is Calne always neglected?
The majority of people voted for Lidl and the planning permission was granted, so why let the likes of Tesco have the right to override this?
A lot of people go to Lidl in Devizes or Chippenham, but there are ones who would like to, but have no transport.
There’s plenty of new homes being built, but where’s the infra structure??  The town councillors have a lot to answer to.
 
Calne, yet again, is like the poor relative!
Yours sincerely
C. Smart
