Residents Say "No" to Huge Tesco Store
May 28, 2008 1:54 PM
Liberal Democrat Councillors and Don Foster MP attended a meeting with over 20 residents last night to hear their concerns about the future of the Bath Press building on the Lower Bristol Road.
The general consensus of those who were there was that they were opposed to a huge Tesco store on the site of the former Bath Press Building.
Councillor Sharon Ball (Lib Dem, Westmoreland) commented, "There are many issues surrounding this proposal and the impacts that it would have on neighbouring homes and local shopping centres; these issues must be taken into account. The frontage of the former Bath Press building, although not listed, is an important landmark and local residents will want to see this frontage protected.
"Although Tesco have put no proposals on the table for this site at the moment, I would agree with the residents to whom I have spoken so far and we will oppose a huge Tesco store on this site if that is the proposal which comes forward.
Councillor Lynda Hedges (Lib Dem, Westmoreland) added, "However we do want to consult all local residents to find out their opinions on the future of this site. My ward colleague and I will bring the views of local residents forward to any future developer of this important employment site."
Councillors Roger Symonds (Combe Down), Nick Coombes (Bathwick) and Shaun McGall (Oldfield) were present at the meeting.
