Retail -
7.31 - The idea of increasing the amount of sales retained in the Town is very commendable but the proposals put forward are totally unrealistic.
7.32 - Superstore shoppers will not pay to park in Battle to shop locally.
The main reasons local and visitors shop in Battle is because of its character and shops which are not large multiples. A supermarket would destroy the character and existing businesses.

Retail and Parking -
The quickest and easiest way of increasing trade in Battle is by providing better and free car parking. Battle has very limited free on street parking.
