Tesco Split London Road Houses from Main Application

The Herts Advertiser reports that St Albans District Council has now received a letter from Tesco..... unfortunately it doesn't say that Tesco is withdrawing its application, but it does claim that it is prepared to split the issue of the derelict London Road houses from the main application.

This is a good first step towards the refurbishment of these houses - but it should be noted that Tesco has promised great things in the past - such as 'renovating all the houses in May or June' as Pete Milne pointed out a couple of posts ago. Plus it would be very difficult to justify leaving the houses to get worse for months while Tesco has a think about its next steps!

We'll keep watching, of course, and hope that Cllr Brazier is equally vigilant...
