The following letter was sent to Councillor's
Nelson, Hanner, Fenn, Pointer, Partridge and Norman Lamb MP on 21 November 2005 - we will
post the response when we receive them.
Re: Tesco Store
As you may be aware some of the people of Sheringham have formed a group to support Tesco
store coming to Sheringham. As a group we feel that it is time for us to have our views
known. The lobby against Tesco has had their hearing and now it is our turn to ask the
people of Sheringham if they are in favour of a Tesco store.
Before we do this we would like a few questions answered ourselves as we wish to
communicate to the public accurate information. With this in mind these are the questions
we would like answering:
* We understand that the council has asked for Counsel's Opinion part of their refusal of
the Tesco application. What has happened to this as it is over two months since this was
done. Why is it taking so long? Can you confirm that the ratepayers will not be asked to
cover the cost of any appeal
* Stalham was held up as the town that suffered the most because Tesco opened a store in
their town and that the people of were losing all their shops. Can you tell us why would a
new large store open if the town was in such a poor condition and did you as councillors
know this was about to happen when you voted?
* Did you vote against Tesco or abstain please can you tell us what was your reasoning?
* How long the car park in the town would be closed in order to build a store on it and
can you assure the people of Sheringham that there will still be room for a market and for
the buses that bring in our day trippers.
* If Tesco's do not come to Sheringham can you confirm that the ratepayers will not be
asked to cover the cost of replacing or repairing the fire station and the community
centre?
We look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours sincerely
Pam Blyth (on behalf on Protesc)Councillor Nelson has responded: She is unable to take
part due to a conflict of interest - we thank her for her prompt reply. |
