The latest information we have about Tesco’s plans is that following a request to MKC Highways for changes to road layouts/parking arrangements, MKC highways, having discussed the plans with WSTC told Tesco their proposal was unacceptable. Tesco said they would be resubmitting further proposals, but nothing has been received by MKC thus far. In the meantime, Tesco have announced Christmas trading figures and heavy losses on their share value and their Chief Executive says its focus will now shift from expansion to improving its existing store network. This gives us hope that the plans to move into our High Street will not progress, but nothing is certain.
The website and petitions in shops against Tesco opening here reached a total figure of over 2500 and we very much appreciate this repsonse. Please make it a New Year resolution to shop locally a bit more and keep using Woburn Zens as it’s open for business as usual.
Please refer to the Council Pages for more information on other planning matters such as The Greens Hotal appeal.
Finally, we are very please to announce the opening of the new library on 4th February 2012.
