A few observations on this thread:

• How do we quantify Ocado being more ethical than other supermarkets?
• It seems that we are in danger of equating business survival to having a local monopoly?
• a local shop is not required for the people who can travel out to other areas or get deliveries but what about the people that cannot?
• Most seem to agree that their is a lack of local fresh items
• some of the businesses need to change for the better to complement a new addition
