GORTON AND TESCO

Early day motion 2098, tabled 20 October 2009 by Gerald Kaufman (Labour). Signed by 8 members.

That this House deplores the failure of Deborah Hayeems, Tesco Regional Corporate Affairs Manager for the North West and Yorkshire, to respond to repeated letters to her over a period of more than six weeks by the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton with regard to motor vehicle access to the Tesco site in Gorton; further depores the negative response to similar representations by Manchester City Council; believes that this lack of responsiveness demonstrates that Tesco is very happy to make money out of the people of Gorton but is stubbornly resistant to responding to the concerns of the people of Gorton; and suggests that, in addition to making a proper response, however belatedly to those concerns, Tesco could demonstrate that it is part of Gorton by erecting a Christmas tree in its car park in order to participate in the commemoration of the centenary of Gorton joining the city of Manchester in 1909.
