Concerned Resident: The Tesco Plans Must Be Stopped

Here's an email we received earlier today from David Lake who lives on Grimston Road, St. Albans:

I only recently found out about the proposed Tesco development when I received a glossy flyer through my door explaining how Tesco planned to "regenerate" the Evershed site.

This seems like the latest - and by far the worst - proposed Development Disaster to hit St Albans, including plans to knock-down the old London Road cinema, the destruction of the existing Victorian buildings on Lemsford Road and now the prospect of a bland, corporate glass and steel Tesco monolithic monstrosity with all the additional car traffic by day and huge HGVs by night.

We don't need another supermarket in town - we don't need another 1,000 cars clogging up London Road and Alma Road and we definitely don't want to lose one of the best Indian Restaurants in town.

The Tesco plans - must be stopped.
