We say NO to TESCO Express at Prettygate, Colchester
To overturn the decision by the Chief Executive of Colchester Borough Council allowing an amendment to planning permission to go through. This decision overturned a decision by the local planning officer to refuse a change from 3 units to just one, thus allowing TESCO to lease the site from Hills Group (landowner and developer).
Why is this important?
The planning officer originally made a mistake in allowing the amendment through without having the authority. He then over-turned it but was over-ruled by the Chief Executive. This has opened the door to TESCO to open a TESCO Express 100 yards from an existing local CO-OP without any public say on the matter.
Over 500 people have signed a petition already and we want to recruit more supporters. Many have said they would like to sign a petition online, hence this campaign. If you have signed the paper copy you don't need to sign this one as both will be presented to the Council in due course. Please spread the word via social media.
How it will be delivered
