Hall Green Focus readers will recall that despite the intensive local campaign and the massive petition presented by Councillor Michael Wilkes (who also spoke at the meeting of the Planning Committee) the applications by Tesco to install themselves in Robin Hood Lane near to the junction with Highfield Road were given the go ahead.

We understand that it is intended to open this latest Tesco Express in late May or early June. We take the view that an over-dominant supplier will inevitably mean that there is less choice for the consumer in the longer term.

We encourage residents to continue to use the local convenience stores who have worked very hard to provide services to the community. Long may they continue to do so.
