Growth at what price?
The relentless growth of Tesco has crushed small businesses and local shops. And it has turned many of our communities into Tescotowns.
In response, the Competition Commission has recommended a new competition test for town planning.
This would stop supermarkets opening new stores in places where they already control the majority of the local market.
Bully boy tactics
But the new test is in danger because of the fierce lobbying of Tesco.
They want to scrap the test and risk the future of vibrant, environmentally-friendly communities and town centres.
What can I do?
Demand the Government stands up to Tesco.
Email the Minister for Planning

Exposed: Tesco poses as ‘local trader’
Originally uploaded by jordi.martorell
Yesterday’s business section of the Sunday Telegraph leads with this headline and describes Tesco’s underhand tactics of applying for an 80,000 sqft store in Barnstaple, Devon. In essence what Tesco have done is hide behind a local trader named Brian Ford who has a long reputation in the Barnstaple area. A rival supermarket executive was quoted saying “This is a Trojan Horse planning application”.
