The Waiting Game

by Christine McLaughlin

The NoMegaTesco in Stretford campaign has caught the attention of various media outlets. Campaigners are waiting for Tesco's planning application, which appears to have been delayed.

Following a well attended demo at the town hall last week, the campaign was prominently featured in the Manchester Evening News, the Stretford and Urmston Messenger and the Trafford Metro News.

BBC Radio Manchester interviewed the campaign's Laura Harris (scroll to 5 minutes 35 seconds in), whilst Channel M interviewed Margaret Westbrook. The campaign was also featured on The Politics Show (feature starts 33 mins, 30 seconds in)and North West tonight (feature starts 12 minutes 50 seconds in).

You can find the group on Facebook but do check the campaign website for regular updates.

Once the planning application is received we will have three weeks to object to the proposals. Objections will mainly take the form of letters to the council's planning department, setting out exactly why this development is not welcome in Streford.

Then, about half of the number above, 22% of people consider itself will be helpful for current job and 20% of them believe that it is useful for improving prospects of promotion or enjoying learning/studying. A little of them, however, think they can change their jobswholesale dog clothesmarriage affairs
