DDRA Newsletter - Correction!

If, like DROVS, you've received your DDRA Newsletter, you'll note a mistake in the Sainsbury's article - accidental we are assured but nonetheless vital.

‘The revised proposals reduce the store size from 29,000 square feet to 19,000 square feet…’

Not so! The net sales area of the proposed store has been reduced from 26,500 sq ft in the first plan to 19,504 sq ft in the latest plan.

That's a reduction of 26.4% to the sales area (basically, the bit where you can do your shopping), although as Sainsbury's have recently been forced to admit, they've only reduced the overall size of the store (including the back-up space) by 14.7%.

DROVS say that's still too big!

There’s a good discussion of all this on The Silhillian news ‘blog’ here
