  The Tesco machine rolls on and another unique and enjoyable shopping area will become a soulless urban development....despite the clear wishes of the local people who do not want yet another Tesco. Just who are the Councillors representing, and should we wonder whether this was a done deal, as the Bath Road has already been upgraded???
