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.
The map depicts two prospective locations (S1 and S2) for a new supermarket in a town called Garlsdon.
The chief difference between the two sites is that S1 is at the outskirts of the town, while S2 is in the town centre. The sites can also be compared in terms of access by road or rail, and their positions relative to three smaller towns named Hindson, Bransdon and Cransdon.
A thorough glance at the map reveals that S1 is in the countryside to the north west of Garlsdon, but it is also in proximity to the residential area of the town. S2 is also close to the housing area, which palisades the town centre.
Probing further, there are main roads from Hindon, Bransdon and Cransdon to Garlsdon town centre, but this is a no traffic zone, so there would be no access to S2 by car. By contrast, S1 lies on the main road to Hindon, but it would be more challenging to access from Bransdon and Cransdon. Both supermarket locations are close to the railway that runs through Garlsdon from Hindon to Cransdon. Furthermore, the Industrial area in the South end of Garlsdon is closer to S2 than the Industrial area lying in the North region of Garlsdon which is a little farther from S1.
