get deliveries from big supermarkets,Sutherland
I have tried unsuccessfully to get the BIG Supermarkets specifically,Tesco & AsdaAsda are they are closest,to make deliveries to our area,Sutherland etc,my Village of Lochinver included,which is ONLY 37miles to the closest Tesco store,(Ullapool)
There are many villages & rural homes here on the coast,but not everyone has cars or time to travel to the towns for shopping.

Why is this important?
The 2 convenience shops in my village of Lochinver (IV27)are expensive & limited to what they can sell.
I myself am disabled and cannot drive,as a lot of other people in the various communities around Sutherland don't have time to go driving 37miles to Ullapool (Tesco) or Tesco & Asda in Tain or Dingwall,approx 50-60miles away !!Even if people could get one of only 2 buses a day to Tesco,Ullapool,its not possible to get frozen products home in sufficient time.I have lived in another village in past years with a longer distance than where I have been now for 4 yes,it's EXTREMELY UNFAIR, especially when they charge for delivery anyway,it's not a free service we need.
