Tesco has bought the Eaden Lilley Shop in Great Shelford. This is likely to put Barkers the Butchers, Days of Ashwell (the bakers) and the fruit and vegetable shop under threat and change the character of the village for ever. Show Tesco how unwelcome they would be by signing this petition.

It is not just the three shops mentioned that are threatened. The Co-op and also excellent stores in Hinton Way and Stapleford would suffer if Tesco opened an unneeded and unwanted further food shop in Shelford.

We have a thriving and interesting village street with lots of different local businesses. We do not want a single large operator overriding all this variety.
Tesco say that their new shop will not cause traffic problems as people will tend to walk and cycle. We do walk and cycle but lots of people already drive. has anyone from tesco actually been in Woolards lane on a Saturday morning? Tesco will just make it worse

A Tesco in Shelford would radically affect the independent businesses that make the village the rich, diverse and charming place it is. We already have a Co-operative store as well as a butcher, grocer, delicatessen, 2 banks and newsagent as well as 2 further convenience stores in Hinton Way and London Road. All the needs of the village are met, as set out in the Village Plan. A Tesco on Woollards Lane would cause futher congestion to an already very busy streetand would negatively change the character of the village.

Tesco express is totally out of character with the rest of the shops in Great Shelford and will only have a negative effect on the independent shops already serving the community. The Co-op already caters for the the local supermarket shopper and is preferable to Tesco due to its fair trade products. Tesco will add nothing what so ever to the community - how very Tesco style to threaten other traders whilst offering no benefits to the village community. Volume of traffic associated with Tesco with add to existing traffic problems and another ATM is of no use at all.

It is also about the safety and the chaos it will bring to Woolards Lane.

This is a completely unecessary shop in a very well served village
