Comment on the Gurn from Visit Nairn's Rosemary Young - Rosemary refers to this letter in the Courier, Imagination is the Key to the revival of Nairn Town Centre, and also an article we mentioned which is not online.
'I hope you have all read the article in the Inverness Courier. We in VisitNairn are doing what we can but it is frustrating. I feel those that got us into this mess should get us out and pretty quickly too. It is amazing that a supermarket who has the complete MONOPOLY in this town does not seem to care or worry about the disgraceful dump to which they are not only attached but own. Maybe a boycott is the only way to persuade them to shape up. Come on Co-op a lovely paved garden with benches for the good folk of Nairn to contemplate their shopping lists before spending in your stores is all we ask! Surely after years of eyesore this is not much to ask?'

Update: comment in from 'Madia Comment'
'Here's what the Co-op says about itself on its website:'We believe that we should offer our customers both value and values. Which makes us a bit different. Our members are our owners; they tell us what is important to them and we listen and act on it.'It's about time that the Co-op started living up to what it calls 'the Co-operative model' and that Co-op members in Nairn tell them loud and clear what really is important to them.'
Time for Nairnites to heap shame and bad publicity on the Co-op throughout Scotland and beyond?

What! Rosemary pulling the plug on the Co-op Divi.Come On! Behave Yourselfs.Who knows what this could lead to.?
Boycott the Co-op is fine as a protest for those folk who have cars and can easily shop outwith Nairn
Perhaps the protestors would like to offer free rides so everyone can join in, or maybe Tescos or Lidl in Forres could provide a free bus service
In fact a free supermarket bus service would solve so many problems, no need to build a Sainsbury's or re paint the Co-op
We could all form a queue at the Harbour Street stores (the only real competition to the Co-op) as a symbolic protest against Co-op rule.
It would generate media interest if nothing else.
Here's what the Co-op says about itself on its website:

Yup, your caring sharing Co-op
the down side of the proposed boycott is that I need my christmas divi this year otherwise it will be a dry house
The Co-op often support strikers, so if Nairnites take action and boycott the Co-op will they help by giving out free food to us?
On another note does anyone know the real Sunday opening time of the Co-op on the High Street?
Boycott the Co-op and starve?
It would be interesting to know what the Co-op has to offer that all the small shops in Nairn put together do not?
Are you saying that hard working people with lower incomes who live in Nairn cannot afford to shop or travel to shop anywhere else but the Co-op?
Are the butchers, bakers, greengrocers, chemists etc all too expensive because the supermarkets can bulk buy and discount?
Are we all so short of time that we cannot walk around and shop in smaller shops?
Is is difficult for young mums with small children to do anything else other than shop in the supermarket?
Is it too difficult for the those who are less abled to access facilities fully and easily?
Is is more difficult to shop in winter?
Is there a way of discovering just what ALL the good people of Nairn NEED?
What is preventing all the groups in Nairn getting together with the management of the Co-op?
"It would be interesting to know what the Co-op has to offer that all the small shops in Nairn put together do not? "
Given enough time to shop I could possibly change my message list so that High Street shops could provide it all, but my purse is just not deep enough for what it would cost
If you want an example how much would a tin of baked beans cost from a High Street shop?
Yes, and just think of the large stains on the pants,when you got the bill.
