Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 One is about to be appointed. The role is to even out the dominance of the big 4 around the country. I don't see how insisting that another supermarket is opened in a certain area to prevent a monopoly in that area is going to help the local independent trader.

Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 is that their only role? What a dissapointment. If there's more than 1 supermarket in an area then there's more likely to be price wars. I was hoping they could/would do something about the silly price wars and make sure chickens aren't sold for £1.99 for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was hoping they could/would do something about the silly price wars and make sure chickens aren't sold for £1.99 for example I think this is going to be included it their role, I half listened to it on the news this morning. Their main role is to stop the big 4 buying up land and then not using it to stop other supermarkets getting a hold Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
