What are your thoughts on the ASDA announcement?

Following this week's announcement that a new ASDA supermarket is to be built in Uttoxeter, what are your thoughts on this development?

Do you worry for the town's smaller, independent retailers, as another national giant moves into town?

Or do you believe the added competition will be good for locals, giving an alternative to Tesco and forcing both supermarkets to up their game?

A public consultation is set to take place later in the year to determine the local attitude towards the Cattle Market site development, but both mayor and councillors have already called the announcement 'fantastic news' for the struggling town centre.
