Yeovil is not exactly in the boonies. The amount of business they

all areas of the UK.

What?
The spending power of 520 people in one area being cut
will likely be the end of many other local businesses.
I would also imagine Screwfix are likely to have sourced
many products/services locally, and those businesses will
lose out too. The local economy has probably just lost many
millions per year of revenue directly and indirectly from
the loss of Screwfix.

Only themselves to blame. We this obsession of not building on the
countryside so large landowners can stay wealthy. Agriculture in the UK
only amounts to 15 billion per year. Many companies exceed that, yet it hogs
68% of land. It looks like the large landowners and their propaganda
organs have won the day yet again. We have a country with masses of land
laying there not serving the people. Total Madness.
