I would not know how to vote on it at the moment, I don't want a Tesco on my doorstep in the Arndale as they would have a pharmacy, hence touble for us, but I don't want one on Eagle St where it would pull all the consumers in and we wouldn't see any trade at all ! Hmmmm
Sainsburys also have an excellent pharmacy Lindsay .. think the best thing Boots could do for Accrington is to extend their range (not sure if any room at the back of you) .. on their toiletries and definitely cosmetics .. not much competition on the latter apart from J & B/Superdrug .. who are very limited on the more up-market range. I go to Blackburn/Burnley for this reason which I am not too happy about, would prefer to shop in my home town.
