It's not that much of a surprise given 8 years of delay, but noone has heard a peep from Tesco yet in terms of what they want to do next with the London Road site. General opinion is that it will appeal the council's decision, but does it really want to create even more unpopularity?
Another way of creating unpopularity of course, is to annoy valued customers. A reader emailed this story to us recently about his experiences...
'Tesco have become so wealthy and powerful that they are living on a different planet from their customers - especially those who are disabled. My wife has to use a wheelchair and asked the other day to be taken to Tesco to do her shopping. On our return home I found that I had been fined £70.00 for using a disabled parking bay - even though the arrangements for my wife's visit had been made the day before and the wheelchair had been supplied by the store! Shop at Tesco and be treated like a criminal!
"PS. Not that their anti-disabled policy has done them much good. Five of us meet at Tesco every week to do our shopping: business worth about £25,000 per annum to the store. From next week, of course, this will be spent elsewhere.
"Good luck with your campaign. Decent society can manage without Tesco and their like."

Shame on Tesco!
The reader does not mention that they did or did not display a blue badge in their vehicle, so one has to assume that they didn't. Surely there is a little more to this story than is mentioned.
