Question –The map below is of the town of Garlsdon. A new supermarket (S) is planned for the town. The map shows two possible sites for the supermarket.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.
Two planned supermarkets are shown on the provided map of Garlsdon, a town of 65,000 people.
Situated 12 km from the current town and home to 10,000 people, the first supermarket is situated in the industrial area towards the north, between the main road and the railway track towards Hindon. Because of its unusual location next to railroad and road tracks, this supermarket will primarily serve rural residents and tourists.
Situated in the middle of the two opposing industrial regions and encircled by residential areas is the town center, where the second supermarket is located. Since the supermarket is en route to Bransdon and Cransdon, which are located 16 and 25 kilometers apart, respectively, it will see an increase in business. But the railroad tracks are very close by.
Due to its rural location and lack of housing, the first supermarket should anticipate a decrease in patronage. However, given its location in the middle of the town and among complex housing, the second one can anticipate strong business. The benefit of having a rail track next to the highway is that it can draw in more business.
