David and Ruth are arranging to meet representatives from Tesco’s shortly and local residents have already received letters from the chain explaining that they are taking over premises at 83 London Road.

Ruth is attending a meeting with Sainsbury’s on Wednesday along with some local residents. This will be our first opportunity to meet the local store manager. There have been some issues with work done and inconsiderate parking by contractors employed by Sainsbury’s agents over the past 10 days but Sainsbury’s reacted quickly to complaints we passed onto them from Kennett Road residents; they issued instructions for unauthorised work to stop immediately and be made good, and have ensured inconsiderate parking on pavements by van drivers has stopped. There is another planning application in process by Sainsbury’s regarding air con louvres that we will quiz them about.

If you have any questions you would like us to ask either Tesco’s or Sainsbury’s at our meetings, please get in touch.
