REGARDING the article about Marks & Spencer opening a new food outlet in Eastleigh, whilst this is good for Eastleigh what is really needed is a large store including clothes, etc. Eastleigh has too many food outlets – Lidl, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Iceland, etc.

A large area could be found to include clothes with food, making Eastleigh an area of growth.

I am biased because I love Marks & Spencer’s clothes as so many others, and feel that there is an opening in Eastleigh for a large store. Food only is not what Eastleigh needs.
