MenuIt is very disappointing to receive correspondence this morning from Tesco’s Corporate Affairs Manager for the North Area informing us that they will no longer be able to proceed with the planned store in Amble.
This comes about as a result of their critical review of all current and future investments following a fall in performance which had been publicised in the media today; Amble is one of 49 developments that will no longer take place.
Tesco have stated they are aware of the importance of the site for the local community and whilst continuing to maintain the site they will work closely with Amble Town Council and Northumberland County Council to find the right solution for our community.
Amble Town Council are aware that lack of employment is a major concern in the town and will continue to work strenuously to encourage all developments which offer employment opportunities.
