Letter to Richard Batson EDP

The following letter was sent to Richard Batson on 19 January 2009 for inclusion in EDP or North Norfolk News

What is going on in Sheringham?  The shops are closing all around us and more and more people are out of work. We were told by the Anti-brigade that if Tesco came to Sheringham it would close down our shops. Well look around, and please a message to the councilors that represent us, you need to think again and work for the people that voted for you. Tesco would have made a difference to our town by bringing new jobs and people into our town and maybe, just maybe some of our shops would still be open.

I was shopping at the Tesco Aylsham last week and it amazed me how many people from Sheringham were also shopping there. The Alysham Tesco is an excellent shop but looking at the size of it we would need something larger to cope with holiday makers. I understand that Tesco are appealing against the last decision and I hope for the sake of the Sheringham people that they win. The Protesc Group are going to fight this time and in order to do this we need all the help we can get so write to your councilor and let them know how you feel and this time they may represent you.
Pam Blyth, Protesc Group
