664.0. "Are we getting a Safeway ?" by KERNEL::ROSE () Fri Jul 23 1993 21:31

    
    Hello,
    
    Does anyone know what's happening with the plans to build a Safeway on
    what used to be the Thornycroft site (more recently it was Eatons) ?
    
    I know they were holding a two day sort of display down Deep Lane but
    since then it hasn't really been mentioned in the Gazette.
    
    Bye

    Trevor,
    
    It is going ahead, unless local opposition and/or Basingstoke & Deane
    Council decide against it.
    
    What about the rumour of a big "Out of Town" Marks & Spencer on the
    current Smiths site, opposite the Camrose Football ground, near the
    Brighton Hill roundabout ??
    
    Brian.

    Hi, Brian,
    
    Thanks for the info ref Safeway. It'll be interesting to see where they
    put the access road in from the ring-road. I'll have to keep an eye on
    the Gazette, I'm sure they'll have info about it.
    
    So, M & S are thinking of building on the Smiths site ?! If it's
    anything like the one in Camberley it will be great.
    
    Bye

A friend of mine has been working on the purchase of the land for the new
Safeway.

I'll try to get the details off him. I have seen the public details, but
didn't get a copy. They are pretty major though.

Mark.

664.5We are getting a SafewayKERNEL::ROSEWed Oct 19 1994 06:028
    
    Well, the latest news (in the Gazette on Friday) is that we are getting
    a Safeway on the old Thornycrofts/Eatons site. The original plans had
    to be changed because Elliott Turbo Machinery have a lease which isn't
    due to run out for several years. Building work will start soon and the
    store will open late next year.

I read a review in the Mail On Sunday magazine recently.
It was on food, yogurt I think. Anyway, they reckoned 
Safeway yogurt or whatever it was is crap.
