Image via WikipediaThe meeting at Rutland County Council was very long. Good to see Tesco are litter bugs they dumped all the council papers on the floor!
The were various deputations and questions from the public and groups.
I managed not to heckle to much, The chief executive kindly read my question if I had been let loose with the microphone I think they would have had to pull the plug.
There was quite a bit of heckling from the public and quite a few spoke rather than just reading the question.
Good on them these rules are so old and outdated people just want to be able to speak to their council.
It was good to see Mr Beech stuck to his question, finishing with a lot of people support the Tesco Expansion? I remember in the early days Mr Beech would speak at Town Council meetings for the Town Partnership and was very anti Tesco. Is it me or could his change of tact be something to do with the fact he now works for Tesco.
Tesco for some reason put a spanner in the works by verbally amending their plan during the meeting. This caused a headache for the legal people and councillors. The meeting adjourned while the legal people decided what to do.
Tesco has decided it now no longer wants to turn the plot occupied by the bungalow into a car park. They could not say what the intended to do with the site.
No one can understand the delay tactic.
One thing that did not go down well with the public was the petition, the store manager said it was public led.
Although the staff were very friendly when I visited the store last week I found rather to many staff were obstructing the doorway in and out on Saturday.
