Is it really true to say that Tesco killed our High Street? We voted with our feet, or was it with our purses. I regret losing various shops, especially Woolworths and Monty Radio, but the closing down of town centre shops is not peculiar to Royston. Even towns without the addition of a superstore are feeling the pinch.
Judging by the number of cars in the free car park at Tesco, we can assume that we are having many shoppers from a wide catchment area.
The up-to-date recycling centre provided by Tesco which recycles the clumsy plastic milk bottles is a boon to our recycling effort.
You may also want to watch:
No doubt Tesco pays council rates commensurate with its size. Whenever there is an event for donation to local causes Tesco's name is often included.
Let's give some credit here.
