Who's Coming to the Public Meeting?

We've finalised the list of speakers and expert guests for Tuesday's meeting. The meeting will be an excellent opportunity to find out more about Tesco's development and to ask questions of a wide range of experts. Please come along, even if you've never thought of yourself as a local activist! Although it may appear that a lot of people are speaking, we've asked them all to be brief and the meeting should take around an hour. (It's at Trinity URC Church, Beaconsfield Road at 7.30pm).

At the meeting we will be revealing the impact of Tesco's proposed development on local air quality. Representatives from all four political parties will show their support, and although MP Anne Main is unable to make the meeting as she is needed in the House of Commons, she has prepared a letter of support to be read out. We will then outline the key steps that we can all take to Stop Tesco and answer all of your questions!

Speakers will include:
  • Simon Grover, St Albans District Green Party
  • Cllr Roma Mills, Labour Party Parliamentary Candidate
  • Sandy Walkington, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate
  • Nadia Davies, Conservative Party
  • Mike Dilke and Ian Langford, Stop Tesco St Albans
  • Peter Trevelyan, St Albans Civic Society

PS - many thanks to the volunteers who are spending this weekend delivering thousands of leaflets and campaigning in the City Centre, and to the many market traders and residents who are displaying our new posters.

Please let us know if you're around to help next weekend - with the tight deadline for responses we need to get as many people out and about over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
