Further to the post below about the London Road properties, we've come into possession of a letter from Nick Gellatly (the 'new Michael Kissman' - see below) to local MP and Stop Tesco supporter Ann Main about the Inkerman Road properties. There is of course no news - the properties here will also stay empty despite local demand while Tesco spend more time working out what to do next. Again, we have to wonder at why a huge company had no plan for dealing with the rejection of its deeply unpopular planning application, and consider the costs that Tesco's landbanking is adding to our shopping bills.
The letter does also give Nick's address, so if you would like to ask him any questions directly, please write to him at Tesco Stores Ltd, Tesco House, Delamare Road, Cheshunt, Herts, EN8 9SL.
Dear Mrs Main,
I am writing in response to your recent letter regarding the properties on London Road, St Albans that are currently owned by Tesco.
Further to this letter, we will meet with council officers this week to discuss a new standalone planning application for the London Road properties. Following this meeting, well work to submit a planning application for these properties as soon as we can.
With regard to the properties on Inkerman Road, these properties have been vacant for a considerable length of time since they were to be demolished as part of the larger scheme. Since we are currently considering our options following the Council's decision to reject the larger scheme, I'm not able to provide further information on these properties at this stage. However, t will inform you as soon as Tesco is in a position to outline its intentions for the site.
Once again, many thanks for your continued interest and please don't hesitate to get in touch should you require any further information.
Yours sincerely,
Nick Gellatly
Corporate Affairs Manager
