A West Camel bakery is hitting out at plans to open a new farm shop and hotel nearby. The proposed service station would be built next to the A303 as part of the new road development. However, ‘The Bakery’ which has traded alongside the original route since 1912 has criticised three years of disruption during the development, and fears for the future of the family business. The developers, Hopkins Estates, claim there will be an economic and jobs boost linked to the planned eco-friendly services.
