The map provides information about the two proposed sites for the new supermarket in Garlsdon.
Overall, the S2 location has shown greater benefit in terms of accessibility through its transportation links; a fair advantage is seen in both S1 and S2 sites when talking about marketability, and the S1 site portrays a significant level of convenience for the residents.
In terms of accessibility, Garlsdon benefits from the S2 site since it is in the heart of the town, and locals can easily access it through the railway line that appears to pass through the southern part of the town, potentially providing connections beyond the designated spot. Main roads come out in opposite directions linking neighbouring towns like Crandson (25 km to the southeast with 29,000 people) and Brandson (16 km to the southwest with 15,000 locals.
From a marketability perspective, Garlsdon presents a mixed picture. S2 site presents a focal point for many working opportunities, a hub for commerce, and a place for social activity since it is near housing areas and various industries. This creates interest among residents and entrepreneurs to thrive and grow their businesses. Similarly, the S1 spot is suitable for residents who live in the countryside due to the less densely populated community. The outskirts of town can provide better living conditions for people who prioritize green spaces and better health.
Regarding convenience, the S1 area is markedly convenient for most residents of Garlsdon. Since it is located further from the town center, parking is easy for most townsmen. It is adjacent to the main road that leads to Hindson, which is 12 km away and with 10,000 citizens. Additionally, the residents can have a smooth driving experience since the road is wide. In contrast, the S2 site is a no-traffic zone, people may have difficulty with transportation.
