MenuTesco were due to start shortly on the construction of the new store, however, following feedback and a further review of the current scheme, it has been decided that the scheme may benefit from a re configuration. Tesco are therefore looking at the possibility of re orientating the store on the site.
A change of this nature will require further planning approvals and Tesco intend to carry out a consult exercise with all key local stakeholders once the team has come forward with some alternative layouts.
Tesco Corporate Affairs Manager Doug Wilson commented that ‘this work will mean a delay in the programme and whilst I know this will be disappointing the view of the business was to get the layout that works for us and integrates better with the town centre.
I will be happy to come and update the Town Council as we progress with our plans’.
