Following reports on Sainsburys possible plans for expansion in the Gloucester Road/Ashley Down area, a spokesperson at Sainsburys Local on the Gloucester Road said 'It is news to us.' When asked if Sainsburys are liable to attract a different kind of customer from the current High Street style of the existing Gloucester Road, the spokesperson declined to comment. There is no doubt that the established Somerfield Stores, of which there are three on the Gloucester Road main drag, are the type of stores that the majority of residents in the area wish to shop at, though Sainsburys' reputation for quality may prove a big pull for mobile shoppers coming from the ever-expanding Westbury-on-Trym districts. read full story / add a comment

Many of Indymedia's readers will already be aware that the proposed/opposed supermarket development for the Ashley Down/Mid Gloucester Road area will, if it goes ahead, be a Sainsburys: not, as previously supposed, a Tescos. The existing Gloucester Road Sainsburys convenience store will close, and a new much bigger Sainsburys will open adjacent to the existing John Cabot public house on Ashley Down Road. There is some sense of relief that the proposed new store will not be a Tescos, and it seems possible that the well-established Somerfield supermarket will be able to survive through its policy of affordable pricing and maintain itself as current local shoppers favourite. Doubtless others in the Indymedia network will have relevant info to add. read full story / add a comment
