I WRITE in response to the planned Sainsbury store on the existing site of B&Q .

I am totally in favour of this plan, and in response to Graham Kennedy’s comment about this damaging his business, I would think that this would be an advantage to him as there is no planned petrol franchise this would benefit him by the people purchasing petrol at his garage as it’s on the doorstep of the proposed store and it will create much-needed jobs.
