Another Tesco plan has run into fire over the potential for massive traffic congestion. The Automobile Association, Friends of the Earth, two Conservative former ministers and local campaigners are fighting Tesco's proposed 'MegaShed' - a massive distribution centre close to Stonehenge, reports The Guardian.
The planned distribution centre would be a massive 85,000 sq m (forty times as big as the St Albans store!) and would lead to thousands of lorries rolling down the picturesque (and massively crowded) A303.
The article also shows Tesco's usual disdain for local people - the company refuses to engage with them and tries to support its plans with claims that lots of jobs will be provided (although they will presumably replace jobs elsewhere) and that 'traffic improvements will get around the problem', without saying what these will be.
