  My feeling Andrew is that we have to grab ASDA with both hands on this. As Howard says there, and indeed as Paul Watkins himself has said before, all other options were tried but there was no take up...so we really have to pray this goes ahead or it will be left as is until our generation passes away and our kids will have to tackle the same problem years hence. And we will all have to live with the current dereliction for years to come. While ASDA may not be everybody's cup of tea it will be a damn sight better than our current bleak situation.
  
  Yes Terry some small shops may be hit but others may thrive being right next door to Asda as it will bring people with spending power into the town. Obviously if you were a small grocer you would be concerned...but other than that it could be good for all and will bring more jobs too.
  
  Let's hope the current economic downturn wont scupper this move forward.
