  1. Is this going to be as big as Asda, say in Morley?

    This seems stupid to me, seeing as a new Asda is going to be built in Middleton, I thought the ideal choice was to build a Tesco.

    Let’s hope Asda don’t take as long to build there new store as its taking to build in Middleton, or we will be waiting years.

  2. I suspect yet another delay in Middleton then. We would have had a Tescos for two years by now if they had got permission. The councillors should vote in favour of both stores and see what happens. The closest Tesco is miles away, we need more competition in the the South Bank area.
