WE the people of the Forest have a right to have a choice where we shop. Sainsbury's should be granted approval to build in Lydney and Asda has already been granted approval to build in Cinderford (it is only the Co-op that is holding it up).

The Forest is too small an area to support two of the same stores we the consumers have a right to have the choice. I fully support the application for Sainsburys in Lydney.
