Local Political Party Protests Tesco Plans

The Green Party organised their own protest in front of the existing city centre Tesco in St. Albans. In the foreground, one of the several a fruit and veg stallholder's at the busy market can be shown filling a bowls for shoppers.

From this and another stall we purchased a bowl of bananas, 1 kg of new potatoes, 1kg baking potatoes, 1 kg of carrots, an onion, broccoli, curly lettuce, courgettes, 3 beetroots and 3 large mushrooms for £6. And the people selling to us recognised us and said hello.

Sadly, the market stall holders we spoke to (3) hadn't heard anything at all about Tesco's plans which could hurt their businesses and put many of them out of business altogether.
