Tesco given green light for new store in Englands smallest town

Tesco has won a battle to build a 2000 sq-metre supermarket in the quaint market town of Manningtree, Essex, following a three-year battle with local campaigners.
The retail giant is to expand its store portfolio with a new grocery outlet in England’s smallest town, much to the despair of local residents who claim it will suck the life out of the ‘unique’ town which is home to dozens of small, independent shops.
Plans for the development of a 2,000 sq-metre store on the town’s former RailEx lorry depot were given the go ahead this week by Tendring District Council after an independent assessment judged that the supermarket’s new design had dealt with the traffic concerns raised by the previous application.
Tesco has also pledged to donate money to support local, independent traders and town centre initiatives.
Louise Gosling, corporate affairs manager for Tesco, said: “We are delighted that the council has approved our supermarket.”
“These proposals have followed years of discussions and consultation with the council, local business groups and local people and, as a result, will bring many significant benefits to the area.”
“We are looking forward to continuing to work with the local community to ensure the long-term success of our store, Manningtree town centre and the surrounding area.”
Mark Mosley, from support group Manningtree4Tesco, added: “This decision is one we have battled to achieve for nearly four years and with it is the blueprint for the regeneration of our town.
“The real key is the new jobs it will bring and the improvements that Tesco will make to the area.”
