Open to change

There’s progress at last on Asda. With a projected opening date of Christmas 2011 it seems we’re finally going to see work starting.

Newark’s proud heritage as a traditional market town should be protected, but not to the extent that we say no to anything and anyone just because they will bring change.

If we stand still we will be left behind by neighbouring towns.

I accept there will be disruption during construction work, particularly when the Potterdyke carpark is out of action.

I do, however, believe it will be a price worth paying.
