Ask Tesco to release land at Hazelwell Lane, Stirchley
We want Tesco to release land at Hazelwell Lane, Stirchley, and free it up for community use. We feel, as do many people living in the area, that this site would be better used to meet the demand for social housing or for another communal function.
Why is this important?
Residents are increasingly frustrated by delays to the Tesco development project on Hazelwell Lane; with work yet to start some 14 years after it was first proposed. Despite assurances that Tesco is committed to building the store, we have yet to see a start date.
The site is lying derelict and unused, is being used by fly-tippers and has become a dumping ground for old fridges and freezers. Local business owners have told us that it is even affecting sales as the area is now a ghost town.
This land could be put to use for the good of the community in the surrounding area. If Tesco were to release the land the local community could have a say in how the land is used to its benefit.
