To Be or Not To Be a Supermarket in Tavistock
West Devon Borough Council are to carry out a retail study where no doubt the question of whether a supermarket is needed in Tavistock.will be raised. This will follow on the heels of the Core Strategy which, if and when it is adopted at the Full Council Meeting on the 19 April 2011 will result in a further 750 houses being built in Tavistock.
These additional houses will dramatically impact on the demographics and infrastructure of the Town and will influence the shopping needs in the future. Incoming people will be looking wider for their shopping, well practised in seeking out and travelling to supermarkets, together with the skill of shopping by internet . The Town Centre will still have a role to play when accessing it’s specialist shops and enjoying it’s heritage and character.
The town is already losing footfall to areas such as Roborough, Okehamton and Launceston to enjoy access to quality and choice.for their shopping needs.and very importantly PARKING. When the retail study comes out for public consultation please make sure your voice is heard.

My Personal Endorsement
I have decided not to stand as an Independent in the forth-coming Tavistock North Local Election.
Instead I would like to give my full support and personal endorsement of prospective Independent candidate Jeff Moody.
I have known and worked with Jeff on many occasions over the years and have always found him to be a hard-working member of the local community. He always demonstrates great personal integrity and is a person who is tireless in his commitment to ensure that Tavistock remains a jewel in the crown of West Devon.
