“having lived in hayle all my life i am still waiting, endlessly waiting for any sort of development to take place.
i think that the old gits should let things happen for the future generations sakes, coz lets face it most of them are gonna be dead in ten years.
i understand that landmarks must be preserved for the sake of history but if we dont attract people into hayle, whos going to see them!!
lets get rid of the over grown buddliea garden we call hayle harbours sssi and MOVE FORWARD PLEASE!!
IM BEGGING YOU FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!”

“Good to read all the usual voices of doom/no change here thanks are quick to post. Thanks for your contributions.

Wasn't the history of Hayle that it was at the forefront of industrial engineering, not a well-known hub of knee jerk, country boy nostalgia?

Prediction - 1 supermarket or 3 supermarkets will make little difference to Hayle. However the sky won't fall in, nor will your road cease to be traversible.”

“Having left my native Cornwall in 1992 in order to gain a degree and a career, i was desperate to return home, and in 2005 i made that move based on the fact that Cornwall seemed to be moving into the 21st centuary.
I now live in Hayle and am keen for heritage to be preserved, but also support progression.
At the moment i (and many others) travel to Camborne or Penzance to do supermarket shopping. I know many people do use the local shops, but not everyone has the time to visit the butchers the bakers and the candlestick makers every week, and we prefer to use an all in one store.
The advent of a supermarket around the Hayle area would bring money and jobs to the area (and lets face it they are greatly needed). I wish this could be be seen as an additional service to the area rather than a nuisance. Of course the traffic system needs to be addressed, as well as many other issues.
I love Cornwall, its heritage and its scenery and especially Penwith; but what is going to be available for future generations apart from some well preserved buildings, if we dont gently embrace change and growth. They will still leave in their droves as my generation did, and perhaps they wont be so keen to return.”

“@ michael biro, ah a NIMBY, you dont mind shopping there as long as its not in your town”

“Great that the people of Hayle are wise to the issues. You only have to see what has happened to the Chiverton roundabout to see what would happen at the Loggans Mill roundabout with the extra traffic even without the extra cars in the summer holiday period.”

“When is Hayle going to wake up and stop objecting to any planning applications that will improve the prosperity of Hayle. They have been objecting for years! They wonder Hayle station is threatened with closure not to mention all the shops that have closed down. You need more than a lovely beach to entice people to come to Hayle. Angarrack already has West Cornwall Shopping centre and a Industrial estate in close proximity so cannot see a problem - they would not object to the extra income it would generate from their Christmas lights with all the extra sightseers!!”

“Well if ASDA or Sainsbury come to town they will kill the 5 local petrol stations to start - then Co-op & Lidls then other small stores will go, its means a local workforce loss for sure - so why not re-open the Hayle Job Centre again now just to be prepared..”

“sainsbury is not a shop - it is an outlet of big business - in any up country sainsbury there are more business suited individuals in the back of the store than assistants at the check outs - it is 26% owned by qatari investment authority - and will soon be majority owned by this finance focused group - it is consistently the first of the big 'supermarkets' to increase prices”

“Yessssss”

“another bunch trying to figure out how to make money from hayle harbour, as for the other site i wonder how 'marsh' lane got that name?”
