Air Pollution on the Agenda

Following an intervention by local MP Anne Main, Tesco has agreed to include a survey of air quality in its forthcoming planning application. Anne told the Herts Advertiser,

'I am extremely worried about a store of this size and its environmental impact. When it's a question of people's health we must ensure that we get it right'.


The paper reports Tesco spokesperson Michael Kissman saying in reponse that the company had 'already instructed experts in the field to write the report'. Hopefully these 'experts' are genuine research scientists, not retail consultants who do most of their work for big supermarket groups.
