Do you think they will taste better with chips or roast potatoes Bernie ?

I actually meant the Great Harwood Tesco, (which has now planning permission) as realised Accy would take longer to get through.

Unfortunately, threw out my thongs a few weeks ago due to bedroom make over ... can't stand 'em.

Maybe the council will stipulate that they have to follow the same rules ofr planning permission as all other new shops in Accy, everything must cost a pound

Why are Sainsbury's objecting ?

Fantastic news, Why should we have to trail to Burnley, Bury or even Rawtenstall when there will be a Tesco on our doorstep? Thumbs up for this idea. Let's put Accrington on the map for modernised shopping once and for all.

Because the town centre masterplan has a Sainsbury's on it. It's a bit hard to describe but the entrance to the Arndale carpark will be brought out and a Sainsbury's built on top. The viaduct roundabout will not be a roundabout anymore - no, too complicated to explain best go look at the plans.

Anyway, the point is that Sainsbury's are on the plans so presumably there is an element of commitment for them to come into the town at some point - a Tesco could spoil their plans I guess.

Re: New Tesco Store

I live 25 miles from my nearest supermarket and its great.Only have to go once a month to stock up and then use local outlets for milk and fruit and veg.The meat is loads better t the butcher and we know the farms where it has come from.Took abit of getting used to as I used to live 5mins from all the big ones.
The only downside is the price of petrol locally.

Tesco have an excellent online delivery service.
It may well work out cheaper for you.
If you are organised enough to shop monthly you are likely to benefit from free deliveries

PS - they do deliver to remote locations - my cousin who lives on the edge of a cliff in S Wales uses them

Kate...I have a better idea...burn them and then put the ash into a double brandy...with mixer if preferred and then down the hatch.

Sorry, just got to the bit where it says you've thrown them out...it'll have to be bloomers then

Re: New Tesco Store

I am sad to see the permission has gone through. I think it is a bit sneaky on Sainsbury's who committed to being part of the new development plans as the location of that one would be much better. However, I am more concerned that supermarkets are taking over and small shops are going under.

Once it opens the town will be even deader than it is now and the "names" that we still have like New Look, Marks and in all probability a good few more will have shut shop and left, not to mention what it will do to the remaining market hall.
The Sainsbury's plan would have at least kept shoppers in the town centre, this will just kill it stone dead.

Re: New Tesco Store

This is terrible news, that area of town is already a traffic nightmare at rush hour, imagine how this will be with all the construction traffic, never mind the thousands of shoppers flocking there when the store is built.

Surely an out of town site would be better, people would still use the store the same, but it would reduce the impact on the town center traffic and trade.

I wonder if the scheme would have been given the backing had the fat wallet of Tesco not dangled the best part of £1million in the councils face.
