Will Tesco Listen?

Many thanks to the St Albans Review for this article covering our petition gathering on Saturday.

Notable by its absence from the article is any response from Tesco to the petition. We hope the company will take the views of local people as expressed in the petition seriously.

However, Tesco doesn't have a good record in this area. In Inverness, the company has just appealed against a local council ruling that found against its proposed FOURTH superstore in the town.

The Inverness Courier reports Steve Rodger, Holm Community Council chairman, as saying,

“I think it’s shameful. It is a disgrace that Tesco have not listened to what the community have said and at no point have they come to the community and asked what they want".
