Can everyone be happy? MARKS & SPENCER Ashbourne is a small market town on the edge of the Peak District, with a population of about 7,000 people. Cedar House Investments has developed a small edge-of-town business park called Waterside Park. So far Homebase, Halfords and Selecta Tyre have established themselves there. In the autumn of 2008, Marks & Spencer applied for permission for a change of use for one of the empty units, so that it can open a Marks & Spencer Simply Food outlet. The proposal has been met with widely differing views from various stakeholders. Many local shoppers welcome the news as it increases the choice of shops, whereas some of the independent local retailers, which include three butchers, a fishmonger, a greengrocer, a delicatessen and several florists, have different views. The business park is on land that once was home to a Nestlé factory which was not very attractive.
