Tesco Store Appeal is Defeated

The traders of Sheringham took on the retail giants Tesco and won their appeal.  Congratulations to them and to SCAMROD.

Hopefully local traders will now invest some money into ensuring that their businesses are accessible to the Disabled people.  Maybe some of them should actually try to do their shopping in a wheelchair or pushing a buggy with another toddler by the hand, then they may see for themselves why the elderley and disabled were so desperate for a decent supermarket.  Now that they have time on their hands, maybe they can use their spare time and offer to take the elderley and disabled people, who are unable to get to the larger supermarkets outside of the town on fortnightly or monthly shopping trips. 

That would be a nice touch from the people who have denied them access to a Supermarket, and it would be no hardship, as many many of the anti-Tesco campaigners visit Morrissons on a monotonously regular basis, just check the car park for stickers.

Don't hold your breath though, it is not likely to happen in this lifetime - if it does, please let us know.  Indeed, as normal it will be those who fought for Tesco to come to town that will continue to take some of these people to Morrissons in Cromer, or indeed, do their shopping for them.  This was a campaign led by people who have no care for the people who live in Sheringham, just the annual tourists, and their own pockets.  The others were merely people who are against Tesco the company.

They now all seem to be coming out in favour of the Budgens on the Car Park - this would ruin Sheringham, as there would be even less parking available, which would reduce the footfall and tourism too would suffer.  I love Democracy
