Supermarket planners caused the traffic chaos

LETTER - So the motorist is being blamed for the traffic chaos in Madeley.

Was it the planners who decided to build such a narrow road or were Tesco ensuring everyone used their car park with no thought for the other traders who were trying to make a living?

Yes, we will have a lay-by for taxis because they will bring customers to our store. All it required was to build the store 12 yards further to the south and a lay-by could have been built for the post office and the traders in the square.

But that would have meant a smaller car park for Tesco and that wouldn't do.
