The opening of a new Tesco convenience store close to your home may be a welcome addition to the local neighbourhood for some people. For us, in Auckland and Plattsville Roads, its a major cause of concern.
We are worried about increased traffic flow, noise both early in the morning and late at night, anti social behaviour and litter. These are only the problems we anticipate - there may be others that emerge.
For the residents of this area, we want no more or less than we have now - busy streets during the day with workers and shoppers from the businesses on Allerton road, and quiet streets after 6. Few cars, the ability to park outside your own front door, and a reasonably peaceful existence.
We don't hold out much hope for getting that, and Tesco are not giving us any real hope that they will work with us, despite their 'good neighbour' promises.
This blog is to allow the people who live around here to make their feelings known, and keep a record of what is happening.
We hope for the best....but expect the worst.
