TESCO IN STRETFORD AND THE IMPACT ON INDEPENDENT RETAILERS

Early day motion 1174, tabled 23 March 2010 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes with concern the decision by Trafford Council Planning Committee to approve plans for a giant Tesco store in Stretford; recognises the potential impact that this decision will have on the viability of local centres and in particular the viability of independent retailers in the surrounding areas of Chorlton district centre and Stretford Mall; and therefore urges the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to call in the decision.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 11, Labour 6, Independent 1.
