PARKING in MEADS St

The Tesco appeal decision went against the Council. This was the last barrier to the opening of a store which we believe will be sometime in September.

The air conditioning installation was approved subject to conditions and we are discussing with the Council how they are to be enforced i.e. measured, controlled and reported.

In making his decision the Inspector stated that no objective evidence was provided by the Council to support their opposition to the appeal. The Inspector also noted that there was no new evidence to support their suggestion that the noise survey results may not be representative of the actual noise levels in the area.
On three occasions we asked for an independent professional audit of the noise level report for without it there could be no new evidence, requests that were disregarded.

When it was first rumoured that Tesco were to open a store in Meads, initial reaction was disbelief followed by considerable local protest. Now we are told it will happen, making a mockery of conservation and residents concerns. However as it is to happen then we have to make sure that its operation - traffic, parking, deliveries, services, opening etc., is acceptable to local residents particularly those in close proximity to the store..
