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.
The feedback from local business owners has been heavy and honest about what this shop means for our future. I am meeting with the council to press them on the zoning implications because we cannot let our village character be dismantled without a fight.
October 20, 2010
Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing this level of momentum proves we are not fighting this alone. It is clear that the character of our village is worth protecting despite how difficult this campaign has become.

Please no. I love Barkers and the bakery. Tesco will just ruin the atmosphere here.

Tesco is the last thing we need. Traffic is already a nightmare as it is.
