Letter: Supermarkets, imagination and town planning

Letter: So yet another major development is proposed involving supermarkets, this time in Whitchurch.

Are the town planners in Shropshire so devoid of inspiration and basic wit that all they can do is make plans that allow the supermarket barons to reap havoc on lovely old town centres, which once boasted a plethora of small shops and interdependent traders, making our market town what they once were?

Each time I come to visit my friends I notice another shop or two has closed in Whitchurch or Wem.

What is it about the Shropshire planners that can't see this, or is it, in reality, won't see this?
