It seems that everyone I meet this week has a story to tell me about Tesco. A teacher friend of mine is worried about her job because Salford Council are talking about closing down her school in order to build a new academy and make way for Tesco. Sounds familiar?
Her sister, who lives in Walkden, is dealing with the news that Tesco want to replace the duck pond her house overlooks with a carpark extension. The duck pond is part of a green space used by local kids for games, sports and generally running around, so I hope Salford Council have their best interests at heart when they consider Tesco's application for planning.
And a young person I was talking to last week was telling me her father's shoe repair shop is being demolished this week due to a Tesco development in south Manchester. The family are probably going to have to move down south in the middle of her GCSE year.
The campaign against the Mega-Tesco in Gorse Hill has attracted some press attention this week. Following last week's public meeting, the proposed development was front page news in the Stretford and Urmston Messenger and Trafford Metro News.
The first meeting of the Working Group is tomorrow on 5th October at 7.30pm at Gorse Hill United Church -entrance on Wesley Street just off A56/ Chester Road in Gorse Hill, postcode M32 0GL. It's open to everyone who wants to take part in the campaign against the Mega-Tesco in Gorse Hill. Please come along and contact us if you need more information. There is also a campaign website here.
It's important to keep checking the campaign website for updates: once the application for planning goes in we will have only three weeks to make our dissent known.

Demand for travel has also been increasing in Vietnam in recent years, owing to increasing incomes. The Vietnamese want to relax with their families and friends after periods of hard work, and combined with active, attractive promotion by tour operators, more and more Vietnamese are going on holiday tours (Euromonitor, 2011).wholesale dog clothesmarriage affairs
