A magnificent twenty-four volunteers spent Saturday (28th) in St Albans City collecting signatures against Tesco’s proposed London Road development. Thanks to you all! We also unveiled our natty new T-shirts (modelled by Nick and Craig on the left!)A fantastic 1,300 signatures were gathered, taking the total number to over 3,500 in just 4 weeks. Many visitors to the Stop Tesco stand in the Maltings shopping centre also took away petition forms and pledged to gather more signatures from their families and friends.
We are also receiving a steady stream of signatures from local people who have downloaded petition forms at www.stoptesco.com and canvassed their neighbours or signed the online petition. Please click on the links to the right of the blog if you can help in a similar way.
Thanks also to BBC Three Counties Radio for mentioning the campaign on Saturday morning!
The next opportunity to help us collect signatures is at the St Albans Farmers' Market on May 13th. You can now volunteer to help here.
