Tesco has been accused by West Sussex Council of 'ignoring dangers caused by trucks delivering to its Express stores in Bognor Regis and Pagham', according to website Roadtransport.com. The site adds, 'Councillors say lives are being endangered as delivery vehicles are not using the loading bays provided, but blocking roads, forcing single line traffic'.
Tesco's response isn't that reassuring - 'A spokesman for Tesco says if loading bays are available it is confident they will be used', nor is the fact that 'West Sussex County Council deputy leader Mike Coleman... is frustrated by Tesco's lack of response after attempts have been made locally to engage the company in resolving the problem'.
Traffic is a major concern around Tesco's plans for St Albans. Where will delivery lorries go, especially when several lorries are there at the same time? London Road is far too busy to cope with stationary lorries. From Tesco's response above, it looks like the company needs to be asked further questions to find out what happens when loading bays are not available!
