The St. Albans Observer has published an article about Tesco's development plans for the Evershed site in London.
The location of the store Tesco plans to build in St. Albans is more than half a mile from the town centre, yet Tesco continues to insist that this is actually a city centre development.
Tesco spokesman Michael Kissman apparently confirmed this when he told the Observer that "We know that people aren't shopping in the town centre and this proposal is in line with Government policy to bring supermarkets back into town centres."
Since when, many local people are asking, did over half a mile away mean in the "town centre"?
The article also contains quotes from several concerned local residents, including Robert Barton, 54, a structural engineer who lives in Inkerman Road, who asked: "How can there be no change in the traffic when you've got a large car park like that? Tesco have been bragging about their green credentials recently - if they're so green then they should build a supermarket without a car park. It's easily accessible by bus, train and by walking."
