Asda plans extension in Brighton
8:20pm Tuesday 24th February 2009 in
A supermarket is planning an extension.
Asda in Hollingbury, Brighton, is asking for customers views on plans to expand the building by 1,400sqm.
The company says the extension would create up to 60 full-time jobs in the supermarket.
The extension, which would take up part of the car park, would mean the branch could stock more non-food items and expand its clothing range.

And as Asda is owned by Wal Mart...can it sell guns and bullets as it does in the States.
Oh...and don't forget to build more mother and toddler spaces along the front of the new extension so all the obese mothers can park as close to the store as possible to fill their 4X drives with bags of fat.

Falmer and Patcham schools look no more for career choices.
Those who don't make the grade can pop next door for the cells of the police station.
Those even lower than the shelf stackers,trolleyboys and assorted burglars,muggers and drug dealers can just cross the road and work for the Argus.LOL.
If only I had thought of that 35 years ago I could have been Howard Blanks.Or maybe Danny Buckland.I might even have had a Pulitzer by now.PMSL

There is plenty of roof space in the building have they thought of a mezzaine floor like alot of the Tesco's have to expand, or putting the new store on stilts to save parking spaces.

More low paid low skill jobs for our Polish 'Friends' - get out the bunting!
The Poles are making loads o money (tax free) so don't want these sorts of jobs - they're OK for british chavs and scum innit

Our local greengrocer and our local butcher are cheaper than Asda on like for like products and it is locally produced too. Quite often they have more variety too - our fishmonger definitely has more variety than you'd find in Asda and is likewise cheaper on like for like.
I literally can't imagine a scenario that would make me want to spend more money for less choice by going to Asda.

Also, could they please look at the petrol area, please? Bad, dangerous design. I often fill up in the early hours and trip over the narrow dividers they have between the pumps - no idea why they need them as I've never seen them elsewhere.
Otherwise, more jobs is always a positive thing.

More jobs for the shelf stackers and trolleyboys.
Falmer and Patcham schools look no more for career choices.

Those even lower than the shelf stackers,trolleyboys and assorted burglars,muggers and drug dealers can just cross the road and work for the Argus.LOL.

why are you so sad?
what do you mean even lower than trolley boys and shelf stackers?
if you actually take a look, you will find that many people that work in supermarkets are young people looking for a bit of cash.would you rather they sponge off the goverment? and you paid for them to do nothing with your tax money?
didnt think so.also, if "low" people and "those who didnt make the grades" did not work in places like asda, how would you get your food and many other convieniences in one place? it would impact alot of people.they help the community alot. take a look at yourself you huge loser

No doubt we will get the usual opposers who's life it won't really affect that much, but need the issue of opposing to fulfil their sometimes empty lives, mmmmmm come to think of it, b&h is crammed full of these people, Check out every (EVERY) planning application in b&h over the past 2 years or so.
Good on you asda, you'll get my support!!
