Freeskilling - Tues 7 Sept, 7pm - Letter-writing to object to Tesco in Stokes Croft

Freeskilling | 05.09.2010 23:22

We have one last chance to stop Tesco gaining full planning permission to open a store on Stokes Croft.
If you want company, moral support and or/help writing/emailing your objections, please come to this freeskilling.

Write letters/emails to the Council, objecting to Tesco in Stokes Croft

7-9pm, Better Food Company, Sevier Street, St Werburghs, Bristol, BS2 9QS

We’re sorry to say that the Tantra freeskilling has had to be cancelled, last minute.

However, we have until 14 September to formally object to Tesco, and so will instead be holding the workshop below. Please please come along, and spread the word to others.

If you’d like to know the reasoning behind objecting to Tesco, see http://www.tescopoly.org/ (especially the ‘Impacts’ tab) and http://notesco.wordpress.com/

We have one last chance to stop Tesco gaining full planning permission

• Tesco needs permission to change the shop front before they can open.
This is normally a formality, but given Stokes Croft and Montpelier’s unique character, the Council will have to take special consideration of the impact of a Tesco shop front on local business and heritage.

• Tesco also still needs to secure a license to sell alcohol.
Stokes Croft is an area with serious street drinking problems and local traders have agreed not to sell cheap, strong cider to help ease the problem – cheap Tesco alcohol would exacerbate existing problems

We have until 14 September to formally object to Tesco.

If you want company, moral support and or/help writing/emailing your objections, please come to this freeskilling.

We plan to be emailing our objections there-and-then. Job done.

If you have a laptop, please bring it along.

**Anyone in Bristol can object - and the more people who do so the stronger our case**

If you can’t come on Tuesday:
- please take 2 minutes to object: go to http://notesco.wordpress.com/takeaction/ to check out our template letter and email the council.

-or come to repeat workshops at Hamilton House, Thursday September 9th, 7-9pm and Friday September 10th, 2-5pm.

Sorry again for anyone looking forward to the Tantra freeskill.
