I have also heard that Tesco could be coming to T H Wite's place - but I bet the rumour is from the same person! I have to say, until now, I have been against out of town shops - for many reasons.  However, with Waitrose now only having to compete with M & S - well the competition could be for who can achieve the highest price.  You have to drive quite a way to find shops with a better price now - Hungerford/Peswey/Swindon - that's not exactly green is it, let alone adding to the traffic problems.  I would have thought that Tesco would need a bigger site - can see it clogging up the London Road because I'm pretty certain it would be well used.  We do need a shop with competitive and realistic prices AND a free car park.  This will be an interesting one - the High Street is really rather overloaded with Female Fashion and Coffee Shops now.  Tesco Metro would have been just right for the old Somerfield site - shame really.  Marlborough is going to have to be careful that it looks after ALL its' residents - not just the wealthy ones - or it will take a nose dive.
