Locals in Tenbury are more confused than ever about the whole Tesco planning situation.
Firstly the Town Council’s very public U-turn on the back of representations from Tesco’s PR staff at the last Town Council meet. Then town councilors’ apparent leading questions put across to Tesco PR reps – questions which were painted as ‘concerns’ and which were then (possibly far too neatly?) allayed. Then delays in the planning process apparently due to Tesco’s not supplying the correct documentation to Malvern Hills.
Cynics have suggested that the delays actually means that it would (if accepted at planning) put the Tesco construction back slightly so it doesn’t clash with Tenbury’s other big threat to highstreet vitality – that of the Teme Bridge’s closure for many months.
The numbers of planning objections to Tesco in Tenbury on Malvern Hills’ website now numbers many hundreds. Local people young and old, both resident and businesses have made their rejection of this plan very, very clear.
Please, please listen to those many hundreds of people Malvern Hills Planners – don’t just flatly ignore them as Tenbury Town Council seem to have done.
Many are now left wondering why they voted in some of these councilors in the first place.
