Tesco
As readers will be well aware, this blog played a key role in inflicting one of the few defeats Tesco suffered in recent years - the removal of that stupid lower case 'e' on their Express stores' frontage.I don't, however, think I can summon the energy or time to join sum of the people of Sheringham, Norfolk, a place I have been on summer holidays, in their campaign against a Tesco opening. In fact, as the article says, public opinion appears to be in favour of getting a Tesco supermarket - the only indicator of opposition is 'letters to the council' which is not a particularly reliable one. There are issues about traffic, apparently, but they sound a bit bolted on, and furthermore if traffic to the supermarket is going to be so high, it's hard to say it's not necessary.
This is unfortunately the position in which I find myself - desiring high streets full of local shops, but unable to find any reason to oppose Tesco opening up in every town.
