Re: New Tesco Store

i'm sorry andrew but thats rubbish.

for all the pound stores in accrington where you can pick off the odd bargain its been proven that stores in and around the town centre aside from those belonging to big companies simply cannot buy at the prices supermarkets can.

some of the bargains i got from asda recently

jumbo pack pampers nappies £8 - boots as big as they are sell them 13
persil washing up liquid - 50p normally around the 80/90+ mark
daz powder big box £5 - normally around a tenner

as big as wilkinsons, woolies, superdrug, boots and the other companies are - they aint gonna be getting those prices. places like home and bargains etc get the items when they're close to end of line or they're matchin asda's etc prices

my brother owns an off-licence in london and he says the wholesale price in london for a case of beer sometimes is more expensive than what shoppers can buy at asda.

at the moment

asda - 16 cans of sprite for £3, graco car seat £25 normally 45 supa-noodles 5 for £1
tesco - tesco value toothbrushes - 7p 7 frikking pence. ok they're not great but brilliant for doin a spot of cleanin etc. castrol oil for 11 normally £20
morrisons - phillips energy saving light bulbs 5 for 50p

all those offers available within a 10/15mile radius.

no shop in town can without taking a hit give back some of them offers.

they wont be cheaper maybe better quality but then your paying for it. but for alot of people, alot of whom make up the accrington demographic - the low income families - these cheap deals are what get them through. not quality but quantity.

That would be a drop in the ocean yerself and would not help in the big picture, firm such as this don't look at today they have to plan months and months ahead and its with this in mind that they feel, under the current climate that they can't carry on, but as was stated it may reconsider its decision if there is an upturn in the building market, lets hope this is the case

Agreed, but if HBC could insist that planning permission would only be granted to firms using local products and labour would this not help the borough? In the not too distant past we've had 2 big health centres and more than one sizeable housing estate built in Hyndburn.

good sense in that,only downside i can see is ALL councils would have to do it, otherwise firms would just go elsewhere cos it suited em.

Not at all, because most towns don't have a brick manufacturing company. Perhaps I should have said preference will be given to companies using locally manufactured products if they are available.

What about changing the name of the borough?

That's bound to bring new investment to the area.

That's a brilliant idea - what they should do is use the main town's name so that everyone knows where we are, then just join the rest of the towns together as a sort of 'district'.

The way to bring new investment to an area is to actively go out looking for it. There are a few factors why companies would want to base themselves here - close to motorway network, low prices, manufacturing workforce, but equally there are a number of reasons why companies would choose not to base themselves here - lack of further education (less educated staff), not so many others based here (if you build it they will come) and image!

My grandma says there is a meeting for views about Tesco on Monday. She neglected to attain any information other than this. I'm rather interested, does anyone know more?
