A Very Busy Anti-Tesco Day!

Maybe it's because summer is officially nearly over and people's thoughts turn to opposing Tesco's latest developments, but there are lots of stories today about people opposing Tesco up and down the country...

Firstly, at home in St Albans, local resident Polly Robinson writes to the Herts Advertiser to suggest a little joined up thinking and the building of a much needed primary school on the Eversheds site. Thanks Polly!

In the wider world,

• Tesco's highly unpopular application to build in Mill Road, Cambridge has been referred to the Competition Commission by the leader of Cambridge City Council, according to the Cambridge Evening News.
• GetReading reports Tesco's plans to open two new stores within a mile of each other. A local councillor commented, "I think there is a fear that Tesco could completely monopolise the local market".
• ThisisNorthScotland has a story about Tesco appealing against a decision to allow them to build a massive store in Inverness.
  
• The News & Star reports further delays in Tesco's plan to build on a site in Workington that is currently used for public recreation. The delay is blamed on Tesco, surprisingly...

Of course, in St Albans, we're waiting to hear about Tesco's latest 'consultation'.
