Tesco’s plans to build a superstore and 662 homes in Kingston have been abandoned as the people beat off the supermarket giant.There is currently a Tesco less than two miles away in New Maldon and the new store was not necessary.
Tesco said: "Rather than push forward with the original application, we have decided to give local people a greater opportunity to participate in the development of this prominent location. Tesco will remain an important part of these plans, but we would like to redesign our plans with the help of local people."
Tesco was accused of using underhand tactics after it instructed a "nominee company" to apply for planning permission on its behalf. Haven’t we see this from Tesco before?
A local resident said building a Tesco: “will kill Tolworth Broadway."
