You might have already heard that there is a plan to build a giant 24 hour Tesco supermarket on the site of the General Hospital in Newcastle. Now is the time when we have the chance to say how we feel about the plans. After the 19 September 2008, the council will be deciding whether the Tesco should go ahead.

What will Tesco mean for our community?

* Less local shops
* More traffic
* Poorer local economy
* A change to our communities

There will be a meeting on Wednesday 10 September at 7pm at Dilston Road Methodist Church, Dilston Road, Arthur’s Hill for people who would like to find out more about stopping Tesco or you can contact  stopfenhamtesco@yahoo.co.uk

As well as local impacts, Tesco have been criticised for their bad practices in relation to the environment, workers rights, and increasing monopoly on grocery supplies. More information on the inpact of Tesco and victories against the company at  http://www.tescopoly.org/
