READER REACTION<br />
appears to have forced<br />
Foodstuffs to take a<br />
backward step over their<br />
supermarket plans in<br />
Rolleston (see page 3).<br />
The grocery giant got<br />
resource consent which<br />
would have allowed it to<br />
change New World into<br />
a Pak‘N Save.<br />
But over the past two weeks<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> readers have<br />
said no to the idea (more<br />
letters page 11).<br />
Late last week, we received<br />
a statement from Foodstuffs,<br />
putting the plan on hold<br />
indefinitely.<br />
“New World is absolutely<br />
here to stay. It has been a<br />
part of the community for<br />
20 years and we were thrilled<br />
to hear how much locals<br />
love their store, and we<br />
want them to know there’s<br />
absolutely no cause for<br />
concern,” they said.<br />
