A new superstore would be the end of Darwen (LT, July 24) because it would kill off the markets, the independent shops and any reason to visit except for a quick in-and-out trip to the supermarket.
So get ready for Darwen to become just another outlying area of Blackburn with nothing to offer.
It won’t just affect traders who sell the same wares, it will kill off most of the independent businesses around the centre because most can’t survive without passing customers, and this kind of proposal will stop people from visiting.
