slf Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 They should build Sainsburys on the piece of grassland between Rannoch Road and Tweedsmuir Road, next to the church. It would be well handy for the residents of Letham and Burghmuir. stick to playin with yer compass captain haddock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truefaith Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Tesco monopolise the town. 3 stores in one town ffs. I vote an "aye" to sainsbury. Will give Perth a much needed jobs boost also. Their PR department has clearly done a good job on you. Could you name any supermarket that has ever given a long-term jobs boost to any town? The answer is none, yet this fallacy that it creates jobs is trundled out every time another application goes in. Supermarkets put small retailers – fishmongers, butchers, off-licences – out of business. They drive people away from their local high street, create unemployment, destroy choice and their profits are sucked out of the local area into shareholders' pockets.

Jimmy Wallaces LoveChild Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I f*ucking hate Tescos. Really bugs me that we are know as tesco town. Those tw*ts get 64p out of every retail £1 spent in Perth and for that reason I cannot wait for Sainburys to be build. Anything that gives them a bloody nose is good in my book!

Yes we do but they are all minky! Sorry but I am a real supermarket snob. Here is my list in order.... Waitrose....no chance of opening here. Markies....quality! Local shops...butcher....grocer....etc Sainsbury....next level. Co-op....fair trade. then a f*cking big gap till Morrisons..alright I suppose. Tesco...hate them! Massive gap. Lidl, Aldi, ASDA. in that order. (Think I have been in them once each just to check them out!) so there you go.

YELLOW ARMY Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 They should build a store at Scone, not at the mart. Scone needs a big store more than that area does. . Scone already has a tesco plus a co-op and a spar it dosent need any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myDarlingBeefeater Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) A BBC article this morning links to this Sainsbury's website outlining their pitch (has a questionnaire too). To address traffic concerns they are offering to widen the A85 approaches. On balance I think I'm for this. I'm generally against such developments - supermarkets are modern evil empires and all that. I'm sure people will start bleating on about local, traditional traders going bust. That may have been true when the first superstores opened up but I don't think one more supermarket will adversely affect local traders much more than the existing glut of stores. Increased supermarket competition will be good for supermarket shoppers in the area. It's hardly a fallacy that a large store could require around 450 staff. That many jobs is a really big deal and I don't agree that jobs will go in competing stores; certainly not 450 of them! It would be a net jobs increase for Perth. They will need to address the traffic concerns properly. Turn off lanes will have to be significantly large to avoid tailbacks onto the A9 slip etc. Edited October 5, 2011 by myDarlingBeefeater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it goes ahead. As someone that lives close to crieff road, I don't think the traffic is as bad as some make out. A bit of variety will be good too.

Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 The map they have on that website doesn't show any changes to the crieff road from its current form. If they were to include that then we may have some idea of what they have changed. All for a change to what is currently a Tesco town.

myDarlingBeefeater Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 The map they have on that website doesn't show any changes to the crieff road from its current form. Hmm... I think it does. Not massively different but it looks like lanes have been extended and the westbound A85 has a proper slip to northbound A9 as it should have had from the start. Hopefully it will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
