A bit late to this subject, but I remember that a part of Bristol (St. Paul's) successfully stopped a Tesco supermarket being built, although this area is well known for its high profile community activities so the reputation of the area may well have given tesco food for thought. We have three tesco stores within walking distance, a large supermarket, which through poor planning causes quite big traffic jams, a tesco 'metro' in the town centre, and a tesco 'express' recently built less than a mile away. By sheer coincidence, there is a brand new community centre very close to the express store, and by even more of a coincidence, this is where some local politicians hold their 'surgeries'. A new 'express' has been built near my son's school, about 3 miles away, already causing traffic problems on a fairly narrow and busy 'High Street' type of road, and is hitting local businesses very hard. We have a local bakery which supplies most of the local independants in the area, and some of the shops they deliver to have lost up to 50% of their bakery sales as a direct result of the new tesco store.
