Out of the blue....
The Paper Boy's interest was piqued recently by a story of Sainsbury's coming to Kelso. Apparently they've tried before (lodging a planning application in 1998), and have a new application in lodged in July 2006.
It falls outwith the local plan as drawn up by SBC as it is not in the cobbled town centre, but seems to have the support of virtually everyone since it involves the tidying up of two prominent units on Kelso's Pinnaclehill industrial estate and will bring one of the top 4 supermarkets to town. It's annoyed Tesco since they had plans for a store elsewhere in Kelso and they were rejected - although they've taken it upon themselves to object to the Sainsbury's application anyway.
If you're terminally bored follow the link to the SBC planning portal (forget it if you're not a user of Internet Explorer).
And apropos of nothing, il me semble que mon accompte "Blogger" est en francais!! No idea what's happening there.... Les boffins de Google please fix it :)
