But who owns the car parks? I assume Bell Green is Sainsbury's, so no one can force them to charge for parking and then allocate the profits to FH town centre. And isn't the car park behind FH Sainsbury's owned by the council? I understood that Sainsbury's wanted free parking at FH but the council decided to charge.

Anyway, you can?t compare Sainsbury?s Bell Green and Sainsbury?s London Road. Bell Green is far larger and stocks a heck of a lot more than FH branch, so it?s understandable that people would prefer Bell Green. Although it wasn?t always so: I remember when Savacentre first opened and it was inferior to FH Sainsbury?s, despite being much bigger. Unfortunately since its refurbishment the FH branch has gone down the toilet. I had such a bad experience in there again last week that I?ve vowed never to set foot in the place (again - I said that a couple of years ago and my resolve only lasted a few months).
