Further to our suggestion below that the police in St Albans might be interested in stories of a couple of Tesco stores selling alcohol to underage people, Convenience Store reports today that local people might end up paying the legal costs of imposing a ban on Tesco in West Sussex. The magazine reports Tesco withdrawing its objection to a ban the day before the case was to be held in court.
Sussex Police violent crime reduction manager Jean Irving told the magazine,
"Everyone is entitled to a fair hearing, but I take umbrage at the fact that Tesco pursued its objection to the ban until the last minute, then backed down. Crawley Borough Council has had to spend a lot of money to fight the appeal and that comes out of public funds. So who pays for that? The local people."
