Were they not supposed to be extending the car park into the yard at the side or have i go that wrong?

i dont know but i heard they looked into putting a petrol station there but were refused because it would be too close to the pub.Either way any local person looking over teh plans when they were suggested would clearly have been able to see the dangerous aspects of putting a minimarket there with a car park or at least insisted that tesco put towards making the access safer.At the vey least either side of the junction leading to union road should be ballarded to prevent vehicles especialy taxis and lorrys blocking the view when exiting as the lines put there to stop this and the laws saying you shouldnt park on corners are been clearly ignored and are causing accidents
