    “I am thrilled to hear it is a rumour only; I do not want a Tesco in this neighbourhood. Yes, there is a Sainsbury's Local here already, which is more reason to prevent another chain supermarket from opening up. It will take business away from the neighbourhood butchers, baker and green grocers.”
