Box 15(e) cont: An additional supermarket will no doubt reduce the 'leakage' of expenditure away from Rye, yet will at the same time increase the 'leakage' away from the local economy, in favour of the large multi-national retailer. My strong preference is to see paragraph 8.34.e.ii removed, as no site is available. If it is to be retained, it should not be under the heading 'For the Town Centre' or state that it is 'to retain more local trade' - this is, to my mind, untrue and offensive.
