FURTHER to last week s letters on the supermarket debate, I must agree with J Deboo that a more sensible location for a store would be directly off the A605 on Eastrea Road. My suggestion would be to place it on the site of the old Tile factory which is c... Full Story »

HOW ridiculous is this woman (Rebecca Yee) who claims Chatteris does not need a new supermarket. The town currently has a Co-op and three Budgens. People in Chatteris are not the most well off in the Fens and for the district council to prevent a new la... Full Story »
