Waitrose Will Not Be Coming To Oakham
Waitrose have pulled out of negotiations with Tresham and will now no longer be planning to build on the site.
My personal view was why did we need a store that promised to match Tesco prices?
We desperately need a store to compete against Tesco and that is a not a dig at Tesco, it could be any store in the town. Competition is a good thing for all.
I wonder how Rutland County Council will now fund its college move to Barleythorpe, because it most certainly did not take a genious to work out why the council were so keen to support Waitrose, A local paper recently published Tresham would be giving the council a gift of money? if the sale went through? Sounded a bit dodgy to me. I wonder if the John Lewis Partnership choked on a 'essential Waitrose' pasty when they read that or was it the style the VIP's portrayed when they held a reception at the Whipper Inn and the guests swilled pints rather than the usual glasses of wine preferred by the partners of John Lewis
If we a lucky we might get some more houses, can't wait to find out who Tresham and the Council have lined up as its next victim.
Sainsbury?
