Ready for Sainsburys?

Having traveled through both Melton Mowbray and Leicester (below) recently I have started to wonder, once people are stuck in traffic jams on the way into Oakham, if the people of Rutland will think the addition of a new mid price supermarket is worth the trouble.

The road between the level crossing in Okaham and the roundabout with the A606 is a major one for the people of Rutland and is often beset by roadworks due to the construction work associated with a large housing development with the land north west of Oakham looking more like a war zone everyday with the destruction of farmland for bricks and motor.

Personally traffic jams and the increased pollution they cause isn't something I am looking forward to and with the prospect of another mid priced supermarket to come one that I see as pointless. If it was a low cost supermarket there might be a point of putting up with the disruption for the connivance and saving that could be made in doing the weekly shop, but in this case it will bring little to the town, other than the closure of more high street shops.
