Mixed reaction to proposed Tesco in Churchdown
Around 200 residents attended a meeting on the proposed new Tesco store in Churchdown last night.
CATS (Churchdown Against Tesco Site) action group held the meeting at St John’s Church Hall on Monday night to discuss the proposed foodstore at the former Hurrans Garden Centre in Cheltenham Road East.

The meeting was chaired by Gordon Goodman, who lives in Church Road.
He said: “I am not against Tesco, I am against Tesco being at that site.
“It will threaten the village atmosphere. It will threaten the shops that we have here at the moment which is not on. I want these shops here when I grow old.”
Reactions were mixed though. One resident said: “I personally would welcome a Tesco store.
“It would give us a local shop at this end of the village which, at the moment, we haven’t got.”
