LETTERS About the demise of the Home Delivery Service
Font size:
Dear Editor
I have used the shopping
delivery service for over 10 years. I am 76 years old, a widow and able to select my own shopping. The shop staff and delivery staff are always very helpful. I am now finding it very
difficult with no transport, as I am
limited to what I am able to carry on the bus.

Dear Editor
My name is Joyce Cank, aged 75, and I live in Syston.
The closing of Somerfields, with its free home delivery has greatly
affected me and my shopping routine.
I broke my hip in a fall, three years ago and still being an independent person, found the service given by
Somerfield’s to be of huge value, now it looks as if I will have no choice
other than to make repeated journeys into Syston for my essentials or the same to Asda. It would always be my wish to stay as local as possible and any retailer that would offer a free home delivery service would, naturally get my custom.
Regards,
Joyce Cank.

I was sorry when Somerfields closed. I had my provisions delivered so I am hoping Tesco will do it.
Thank you.

On reading your item in the Syston Town News about the delivery service provided by Somerfield, I felt I should reply. My parents used the service for years due to having to travel by bus. My father became housebound and still my mother relied very heavily on the service, but now she has to phone me an order that I can send by
computer to Tesco and have this
delivered to their home in East
Goscote.
I don’t mind helping in this way but I have an ill husband and also
sometimes go away on holiday. It would be very good if the Coop or somebody could be persuaded to
provide the service, even if a fee is charged it would be helpful.

I have just read the Syston Town News and saw your article about Home delivery shopping which was a service offered by Somerfield.
Not having a car I used the service every week, along with a great many other families in the area and hoped the Co-op store might start a Home delivery Service. When I enquired I was told this was not possible. I’m hoping Tesco might continue the service when they open. It would certainly generate a lot of goodwill in the town for those of us reliant on the service.
At the moment I travel to Leicester, and use the Iceland Home Delivery Service some weeks and also shop in Syston as well. Its not very convenient. I want to be able to shop in my local town of Syston for all my grocery needs and have my shopping delivered to my home as I have done for quite a number of years.
Will any Syston store carry on this service please?
Yours faithfully,
Mrs D Elliott

We were very disappointed to hear of the demise of Somerfield. The friendly, helpful staff have almost made
shopping a pleasure! To pensioners (70’s and 80’s) the provision of
Somerfield delivery service has been a lifeline, allowing people to shop
personally, knowing that their
groceries would be delivered at no extra cost an hour or two later by cheerful staff. Thank you Somerfield and Well done!
Not everyone has Internet facility or a car and shopping becomes
increasingly difficult with age. It would be wonderful if any retail outlet in
Syston could provide the same
delivery facility as that which
Somerfield provided so well.
Sincerely,
Mr J.M and Mrs E.M.Smith

Regarding the closure of Somerfields in Syston and the loss of their home delivery, I am writing to say how much I am missing this service, I used to regularly on a weekly basis and it as wonderful ad very reliable.
We do not have a car and I am in my late 70s. My husband is not in good health and is unable to help me with the shopping. I do have a trolley but it doesn’t hold that much and it pulls at my inside especially going home over the
station hill.
From what I understand, so many people are missing this wonderful service and I’m sure there is a good opening for either the Coop or Tesco to take on this service.
I for one would be more than grateful.
Mrs Mercy
Syston.
