Eight years a little town called Saxmundham refused to allow Tesco to set up camp. At that time the town was struggling but because of the working together to fight Tesco they developed a strategy to become a 'food' town. Now there are specialist food shops all over town and the place is thriving.

It just shows what can be done if a proper strategy is put in place and towns can be revived.
