Well done too Ernie Broom, chairman of the Howard Estate Over 60s Club. Who has finally managed to get an ASDA in Bury, offering a lower cost alternative to Tesco and Sainsburys. With the country now firmly in the grip of a recession I imagine many people will be flooding through the doors looking at ways they can save money. I know I will.
Don't get me wrong I’m thrilled that we have secured the additional jobs locally but I do wonder if Companies that commit to these "grand" projects, such as ASDA and the New Cattle Market, now regret there decision. Most large companies are currently looking at ways to reduce there overheads, but in projects such as these they generally commit themselves 2-3 years ahead, and no one thought the country would be in the state it is now, three years ago.
Well done Ernie - Whatever will you do with all your free time now???????????
Ernie Broom is currently campaigning for a direct route bus service linking the Howard with ASDA (and back again). He'll win this one, too.
