Sounds like it's going to get very busy round that mini roundabout.

We will have to wait and see if and when it is built.

I had a chat with one of the Tesco blokes in the Town Hall today. They are expecting about 500 cars an hour to use the store. I pointed out the problems that would occur at the Eagle Street/ Blackburn Road junction and he said they were looking to widen the junction. Short of removing the pavements I can`t see how they`d do it. And everyone who uses that road now knows how congested it is. Thank Gawd I`m a pedestrian!

Re: New Tesco Store

I was just trying to work out if they could perhaps have an entrance round near the Globe Centre. Don't know if that is feasible I will have a walk round tomorrow see if it could be done. As for widening the junction can't see how they can do that. It is all supposition at the moment we will just have to wait and see!!!

Isn't this what Arndale centres are meant to be Cyfr? If they are not attracting them, then surely your Utopia suggestion is not going to either.

Could attract more visitors to the centre, however, if their parking is restricted to customers and fines for long stay, as it is so near to the town centre, then nobody is going to move to try and find a further parking space within town .. they will just go home.

Believe me, if Tesco want it, they will get .. as mentioned before, they are the bullies of the Planning world.

Hardly go myself now, I feel Asda and Sainsburys offer much better fresh foods, meats, etc., (including micro-waves ) these days

Was thinking that the other day but having read the comments on here a lot of people don't rate Tesco. Must admit I like Asda but once again will have to wait and see.

It won't bother me, gypsies won't be able to park up anymore But really you get used to the noise and the traffic. Imagine what it was like when the steam trains were firing up, it must be quiet now compared to then!!!

Re: New Tesco Store

Big business always wins. Tesco gets what Tesco wants. The Superstore is as good as built. Two huge supermarkets in our town only means depriving the established shops and businesses even more. All the Sole-traders will have to trade their souls and apply for a McJob at Tesco.
