As if Tesco wasn't having enough trouble in England, the Irish Planning Service has dealt it another blow by rejecting a 130,000sq ft store at the Bridgewater Park complex near Banbridge in Northern Ireland,
reports the BBC. Again, the biggest issue was the potential damage to small local traders.
Local Traders Association spokesman Joe Quail said,
"If this application had been successful then our town would have been ruined with the loss of hundreds of jobs and the closure of many local independent retailers in the town centre who would have been unable to compete with such a vast store."
