I agree that tesco should stop trampling over people that do not want a mini.tesco just corperate bullys, Enterprise inn's who own the Somerset should hang there heads in shame, i do go in the Somerset but not as often as i would like ,nice pub friendly, food is spot on ,couple running it have worked hard and seems to doing very well . Why don't Tesco sod off ! ok its going to create 20 jobs what about the people running the small shops in calow/brimington .
As already said going to be fun when trucks try to deliver with ambulance trying to get past all the idiots who park like numptys....and when the M1 is shut yea,all go through Calow ...gridlock will happen or worse an accident.
and for the record i live on top road and also drive a HGV!
and i won't be using the mini-tesco
Welcome to the forum Spiderman!
I live in Calow too (Dark Lane), and drive PCV's (Coach-Bus) , & I completely agree & share the same concerns as you.
I need to get to Stonegravels to start my shift, I get the bus - its free perk of job. There's already been about 3 events where I've been stuck in traffic on Hady Hill due to M1 traffic being diverted through calow & I've had to ring the depot to tell them I won't be there on time. The ensuing panic is a nightmare as you can imagine.
I applaud the ambulance drivers (as well as the other emergency services) for what they have to put up with in terms of dealing with traffic. I'm only a bus driver - I'm happy enough to sit in traffic as long as it takes - you have no choice at the end of the day - too few Bus lanes in Chesterfield to make a difference. A further possible traffic delaying problem in terms of Tesco Express & their very limited parking spaces doesn't look very encouraging - especially when staff & visitors to the hospital turn out at the same time and inevitably call there for something for their tea or supper or whatever. Only 13 parking spaces - minus what the staff take up!!
Can't wait
