shouldnt be long, buildings seem to go up overnight nowadays, you could send them an email if your interested:)
 
Personally I think its a bad idea. Accrington isn't big enough for two leading supermarkets. One of them will end up having to close due to lack of custom, aswel as the very few small stores around Accrington these days. They should bulldoze the whole town.
 
i like going to all of the shops and supermarkets, i can get some things cheaper in some shops than i can in a supermarket, but i like the deals some supermarkets do, i dont stick to one shop or supermarket, but thats usually because there deals drag me in
 
hold ya horses!!, they have only submitted the planning application, it might not get approved yet!, we will have to wait and see:D
 
I hope it isn't approved. I want the council to focus on Accrington being a good interesting, unique marketplace, not a clone of every other chainstore town where the supermarkets have a stranglehold.

Don't most dying small towns in this area say that though. The more I walk round Accrington town centre the more I see why pound shops and charity shops are the only shops to benefit from any trade left in the town. :rolleyes:
 
It is not unheard of for an applicant to offer a "sweetner" to the planning authority in cases like this. I wonder what Tesco have offered HBC, new Council Offices perhaps? Or am I just being too cynical by half? This proposal will put the final nail in the coffin for Accy Market. As for the 400-odd jobs that will be created, well, you just know that the vast majority of them will go to people who live outside the borough.
 
think the final nail went in yrs ago A-B, as for the jobs, many will be part-time,no matter were anyone lives, think perhaps the bottom line is,most people would welcome it, right or wrong thats the way of it i suspect.
 
I personally hope it goes ahead,as i dont drive and im sick to death of blinkin Asda for many reasons :(
 
There was an offer to buy the building where we rent our office, I believe the owner got greedy and tesco pulled out, no surprise there, (for the owner being greedy I mean), that was on Burnley rd near Altham/Clayton.
 
Plus there will be the tesco's in Great Harwood too!! With a tesco petrol station :)

Thomas lee how can you say that Accrington isn't big enough for two big supermarkets? It's alot bigger than you think...and a competition for Asda can only be a good thing.

Look a clitheroe, they have 3 supermarkets there and that is a lot smaller town than accrington
 
I'm in two minds about this. We do shop at Tesco anyway, in Blackburn usually, so this won't make much difference to where we shop but it will be handy. On the other hand I do think it's a shame that every town seems to be a clone of the next one and there are fewer and fewer different and independant shops which make town centre shopping more interesting.
