TESCO Public Meeting arranged by Katesgrove Lib Dems
01 September 2008
|
Katesgrove's Liberal Democrat Councillors have organised a public meeting this Thursday (4 September, 7.30pm in the Conference Room at RISC) as controversy rises about Tesco's plans to open an Express store at Crown House, on the corner of Crown Street.
Residents and local businesses have been in touch with Gareth and Warren expressing numerous concerns, including:-
* Parking concerns as Crown House has virtually no nearby parking for deliveries or shoppers
* Anger at Tesco's plans to increase their monopoly in retail in Reading
* Concerns about their record on licensing and socially responsible busines
Tesco has applied for an alcohol premises license for Crown House, the former location of the popular Fun 'n' Frolic fancy dress store, and local councillors understand that planning applications are imminent from Tesco, although the use of the premises for retail already has planning permission.
Commenting, Cllr Gareth Epps says:-
'We have had a lot of feedback from residents and others about this issue. Most local people are not happy that Tesco are seeking to open yet another store in Reading so close to local retailers.
'I would urge local residents and others with a view to come to the meeting and make their voices heard.'
