At long last (eight years and counting) Tesco has finally submitted its application for a store in London Road. Having said that, it couldn't stop one last error - sending out the press release announcing the planning application before checking the application itself had arrived - not the best way to get the planning people on your side, Tesco PR people!
The details of the application are reported in the Herts Advertiser and the St Albans Review. Both articles show unanimous opposition from local politicians, with council leader Robert Donald (albeit speaking with his local councillor hat on) joining the opposition.
Now is the time for the people of St Albans to unanimously send a message to Tesco that we don't want the store - so we can move on and do something good for the City with the land. We will find out very soon who you can write to at the council to register your objection to the development, but in the meantime, please could you...
1. Write to the local papers setting out your objections - email the St Albans Review at revieweditor@london.newsquest.co.uk, or the Herts Advertiser at hertsad@hcn.co.uk. We need to make sure that they see local people are against the development.
2. Write to your local councillor - details here
3. Make a donation to our campaign - please make cheques payable to Stop Tesco St Albans Limited and send to 33 Alma Road, St Albans.
4. Print out a new Stop Tesco poster if the one you have is looking tired, or persuade your neighbours to display them as well. You can find them here.
5. Sign up for our email updates so you'll know about our forthcoming protest meetings and activities. Use the Yahoo Groups sign-up on the right of the blog.
