Local chairman Joy Thomson and WI members brought along a number of bags of food and household packaging they had collected, as well as reusable jute and cotton bags which they promote as the way for shoppers to reduce their use of plastic bags.

Mrs Thomson told the supermarket bosses there was a need to reduce packaging on goods, particularly plastic and cardboard, and she asked if they would pass on that message to their UK headquarters.

She also said they needed States Members on their side and readily accepted an invitation from civil servant Mick Robbins, who assists the Environment Scrutiny Panel, to discuss their campaign with chairman Deputy Rob Duhamel.
