Anti-Tesco campaigners in East Anglia have blamed the poor state of Ipswich's shopping centre on Tesco. The Ipswich Evening Star revealed last week that over 100 stores in the city are now boarded. Campaigner Nicky Young of Stour Community First is fighting to stop Tesco building a new store in Manningtree.
Local politicians and retailers in St Albans are very worried about the state of St Albans city - I don't think anyone can image how bad it would be with 100 closed stores - yet we know that new supermarkets can cost hundreds of retail jobs.

What a load of rubbish, there are no more closed shops in Ipswich than any other town. I shopped there recently and there are LOADS of shops, including new ones. Stop blaming Tesco for EVERYTHING that goes wrong.
We're only reporting what the local paper says! It claims to have identified 100 boarded-up stores - if you have evidence to the contrary, please let them know. Once they change their story, we'll happily change ours.
We don't blame Tesco for everything - you should see how many stories there are about Tesco every day on Google News that we don't cover! We only print those that show other local people objecting to Tesco, or Tesco doing things that show a lack of communication with and respect for local people.
