Interestingly, despite some stern opposition from several sides, two things are immediately noticeable. Firstly, the level and volume of traffic through those glass doors seems to be huge (no doubt partly down to the amount of people on the beach and enjoying this glorious weather). Secondly, now the store has opened, and there is a constant stream of traffic in and out, both on foot and in their cars, the interest and controversy regarding its placement seems to have quietened down.
So what's the verdict? Are people still boycotting the store, or has the initial resistance died down, taken over by people appreciating the convenience of a local facility?
