Very shocked and sad to hear about Vicky at topshop.
Have been on holiday and only found out about it today

 As a newcomer I fully agree with all of your comments!

The Somerset House curse strikes again
p.s,
Theres nothing wrong with the co-op,maybe a little overpriced but its own product range is very good quality.
The staff at the Chesterfield branch are also really helpful and pleasant

I am very glad we are having a TESCO in Calow.  It wouldn't have to be Tesco,  it could be co -op or asda.  But a store selling a proper quality and choice of food.  The current local shops are not good enough for a community of this size. The corner shop sells pies and milk.  What else?  Fags and booze.  This is why they feel threatened by Tesco.  The other shop do their best and work hard, but sometimes the fresh food is beyond its best or something you hoped to get, is not available.And where am I supposed to get dog food? A lot of my pals in this area wanted a Tesco Express, they've told me so, but have preferred to be discreet in their wishes. People who drive, obviously go out of the area to get their food etc. No one relies on these local shops for their needs. Never. I don't believe it. If the local shops survive, good.  But this news has been good news for many.

 

I have specially joined this forum in order to tell people that I really want a small supermarket in Calow,  it wouldn't have to be Tesco of course, it could be the co-op or anyone else, but it would be so very very useful and good.  And its not going to be one of those massive supermarkets but a useful small one.  I do not drive and don't always want to be catching a bus into Chesterfield just to get a few things.  There are a lot of people in this village who agree with me, I know because I've spoken to them.  There is a decent local shop, where I can get some tomatoes etc. (if they have them in, its unpredictable of course, like all local shops) but its not big enough  ;)for a village of this size.  And where can I get dog food etc. etc. (without paying far more than I would have to pay in a supermarket)? PLEASE let me have my supermarket.  It is right and fair to listen to local people.  We need and want this store.
