Seriously, do we need another Tesco?

Market Place. London Street. Napier Road. Church Street. Portman Road. Shinfield Road. Southcote Service Station. Hurricane Way. Knowsley Road. Buckingham Drive. That’s ten branches of Tesco within about five miles of the town centre.

Now they’re planning an eleventh, in the old Blockbuster Video unit at the east end of Oxford Road. Do we really need it? Is the level of demand for cut-price loo roll, cheap booze and bagged salad really that high in our town?
