There is a feeling that local shopping is shifting away from the town centretowards supermarket shopping. Vitality needs to be bought back into the town centre andthis must be addressed by encouraging independent retailers with a diverse range ofdistinctive, interesting, quality products, particularly local food retailers – to be set upbusiness particularly in the town centre itself. The strategy also suggests the localrequirement for another supermarket to provide competition for the existing Co-op, smallindependent food shops such as greengrocers, butchers and fishmongers, teashops andcoffee shops.http://www.this-is-amesbury.co.uk/pdf/amesburyplan.pdf4.4 Parish PlansSeveral parish plans have now been approved by the council, where the centres arementioned is detailed below.CM09030/F 40
