Map : the town of Garlsdon

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.

The map describes two possible market locations S1 and S2. In general, two locations have their own advantages and disadvantages.

On one hand, from the map, S1 is far from the housing, industry and other living areas, which proves inconvenient for people. However, thanks to the appearance of main roads and railway that run through the location, it is still accessible to people. Besides, in the long term, when population grows, this location is expandable since it is located in a large countryside. 

On the other hand, S2 which is situated right next to a series of living areas with less than 25 kilometers far away and a population rate of above forty thousand is seen as greatly beneficial in travelling. Those in city center will find it convenient as well, yet due to no traffic zone requirement by the authority and limited space, residents around here may be less willing to come. In the future, for the purpose of extension, it is, hence, less advantageous than S1.
