Tesco

[Abbeydale Communities Together]

What do you think of the new Tesco store near the Broadfield Park? Is it good for the area or not? Do you think it will create traffic problems? What about the small local shopkeepers in the area?

What do you think of the new Tesco store near the Broadfield Park? - it's the same as all the others
Is it good for the area or not? - On what basis does one make a decision like that? Nothing is categorically one way or the other.
Do you think it will create traffic problems? - Yes, on top of traffic problems
What about the small local shopkeepers in the area? - They could gang up. Or give up.

Tesco are here whether we like it or not and I doubt they're going away any time soon. So I was wondering whether we should make the most of them being in the area. I was wondering, for example, whether we should ask them to provide recycling facilities on site.

I was wondering, for example, whether we should ask them to provide recycling facilities on site. - yeah, why not. I'm trying to think what the most we could make of them might be. Regular sponsor of local events? Community tidy ups? Graffiti cleaning? I am not sure there is a lot to ask of tesco that might not be seen as a grand irony.
