Warning from Wolverhampton

Tesco is under fire for letting the former Wolverhampton Royal Hospital fall into disrepair, according to the Express and Star. After owning the land the former hospital stood on for several years the paper claims the site has 'become overgrown and a haven for drug dealers and prostitutes'.

Local priest, Rector David Frith, from St Peter’s Collegiate Church in the city centre, told the paper,

“So many people in the area are working so hard to breathe new life into the local community but Tesco are getting in the way. They don’t seem to care about the health, safety and quality of life of our city’s residents - only about their cash flow and market control.”

Local residents in St Albans sympathise - we've wanted to breathe new life into the Eversheds site for years while Tesco has sat on the land.
