The proposed ASDA store in Thurso has been rejected by councillors.
Seventy-one objectors had called for the proposed site to be retained as the Caithness town's green belt.

A greenfield site on the north west fringe of Thurso was earmarked for a 2,896 sq metre store and petrol station.

Planning officials had recommended that the committee give the plan outline planning consent.

If the store were to happen, as it ought to, then the local economy would certainly become a bit healthier.

Can we ask ASDA to reconsider and appeal?
I say YES!
