What we want in Halstead is another supermarket or better still two. We need to be able to choose. In my opinion, not a Tesco, it has too much hold everywhere as it is. Sainsbury's would be nice, also Aldi or similar, so we didn't have to travel to Sudbury or Braintree. We would then buy from other Halstead shops, so it would help them as well. − mally, Halstead
