The most important thing anyone can do is submit comments to North Norfolk District
Council’s consultation on the Tesco plans before politicians make a decision –
this isn’t far off and we need you to get in touch as soon as possible, by mid
October.
Anyone in favour can email planning@north-norfolk.gov.uk
or write to Planning Section, North Norfolk District Council, Council Offices,
Holt Road, Cromer, NR27 9EN. You have to quote reference PLA/20090818
and include an address/contact details so they know everyone is local to Sheringham; they
should then explain their views.
Anyone who wants to give views on the Greenhouse application can
contact the council in the same way and needs to quote reference PLA/20090777
– as you know it is out of town which is against the policies for retailing and also
will take shoppers away from the town centre.
TESCO PLANS
At last Tesco have put their plans in to the District Council and I along with quite a
few other supporters of Tesco are going to watch with interest whether the District
council are going to get on with their jobs and efficiently process the application or are
they once again going to hold everything up. I understand that they have to also consider
the Green Store but this surely cannot take too much time as the plans have all the
features that were turned down when Tesco first put in their original application.
I’m sure SCAMROD will point this out to the planners straight away.
As for Sainsbury’s Welcome to Sheringham, and with Tesco hopefully coming soon we in
Sheringham will have all our food stores competing giving us the choice we should have at
a price we can afford. Pam Blyth (Protesc)
I note with interest the letters in the NN news 10th Sept. Why do people writing in
have to get personal about comments made. Surely the argument must be what is good for the
town, I believe that the town is split and it is time that good reasons for and against
should be printed so that all the Sheringham and district can make up their minds as to
what they want to see in the town. Whether something is spelt correctly or not or if Tesco
said that other ventures proposed for the town were laughable is a complete waste of every
bodies time. The Protesc group was set up to give those people who wanted Tesco in the
town to have a say that does not mean that we do not support Sheringham so comments made
by Mr Wiles do not help the situation. The holiday maker did not say where he came from or
where he shopped but for the people of Sheringham who live here we do need a good retail
store and as far as I can see Tesco is going to give us just that. I like to read comments
in the NN regarding this but please give us facts and reasons for or against, Just because
you so not agree with a different point of view does not make that view wrong. Pam
Blyth (Protesc)
DO NOT ASSUME THAT TESCO WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. THEY DO NEED OUR HELP. WRITE TO YOUR
COUNCILLORS, THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE MEDIA.
Please contact the council – email planning@north-norfolk.gov.uk
or write to Planning Section, North Norfolk District Council, Council Offices, Holt Road,
Cromer, NR27 9EN, quoting reference PLA/20090818. You also need to explain your views and provide some
contact details.
We will need your help and support, but if you want a Supermarket in Sheringham, then
like us you will have to fight for it.
Sheringham Tesco - yes-s-sco!!!!!
Never a truer word spoken…
Some people have asked us for some thoughts on what they could say in their letters
backing the plans when they write letters or talk to friends. We’ve found the some of
the following are really important, you might like to consider them:
You’d like a good-value supermarket with the range of groceries you need for your
main shopping trip close to home rather than having to use supermarkets in other towns
A good value store will help families reduce costs
We know local people and visitors, including summer tourists go to food stores
elsewhere. You could talk about how a store would attract these people back to the town
and local stores would benefit as they visit them as well
You would welcome a free car park close to the High Street and this would also attract
new visitors to town
New jobs at the store would be very welcome.
