Tesco's statement about Tenbury plan withdrawal.
Sophie Akokhia, corporate affairs manager for Tesco, said: “We have had some positive support so far from local shoppers and traders in the town but this is a complicated scheme with lots of individual aspects to be considered. While both the conservation area and planning applications were progressing well and discussions with third parties were ongoing, it became apparent that we would be unable to resolve all the complex issues associated with the site within the council’s administrative deadlines.
“As a result we have regrettably withdrawn the planning application to enable further consultation to take place, with a view to resubmission in the near future.”

Tenbury Cattle Market Car Park to Close
The former cattle market site will be closed from
The evaluation is required by Malvern Hills District Council to assess whether any further excavation would be needed if Tesco was granted planning permission for a new environmental format store.
A desk study has already been carried out, which established that the site could potentially hold remains dating back to the medieval town, particularly in the western part of the site which would have lain within the medieval town boundary.
A digger will be used to excavate the trenches and remove excess earth to allow archaeologists to excavate the site by hand. The findings will be studied and a report will be submitted to the local planning authority.
Sophie Akokhia, corporate affairs manager for Tesco, said: “This is a very important evaluation which would need to be carried out ahead of any potential development on this site.
“The study is a requirement of Tesco’s planning application but this work also provides a valuable opportunity to investigate Tenbury's historical development. Very little archaeological investigation has been carried out within the town to date and we could have some interesting discoveries to report on.”

Market Street Toilets
A quick competition (with no prizes). Guess how much the opening ceremony must have cost. Count all the people being paid out of the public purse, plus the 'bun fight' in the Pub opposite.

One small step forward.
Tenbury is an idyllic place to live, but to have the majority of the working population travelling in excess of 50 miles a day, mostly by Car is hardly a sensible and sustainable solution.
