It's Actually 1,200 Letters of Objection from 1,400 People! (Still 2 (that's just 2) In Favour)

Thanks to all of you for putting your opposition to Tesco in writing - and of course to Pete who spent the morning counting them in the Council Offices.

He reports that there are 1,200 letters and emails - and that 15% of them have more than one signature, making over 1,400 objectors in total. He's also had a go at analysing a sample - as you can see from the graph below, traffic and the damage to local trade are the biggest problems.


(PS - there are still only two letters in favour - one focuses on the need to sort out London Road as soon as possible. We agree that something needs to be done - but disagree that Tesco should benefit from creating the problem in the first place!)
