First image of Tesco store bid

This is the first image of a planned 15,000sq ft Tesco superstore which could bring up to 150 jobs to Tenbury Wells.

But it has already provoked a huge amount of reaction from campaigners opposing the store, who have started a letter writing campaign in a bid to block the scheme.

The store will also include a 100-space car park, new trees and a riverside walkway at the former cattle market site.

It is the third time that the supermarket giant has applied to build a store in the town.

But Tenbury Futures, which has alternative plans for open air markets and arts spaces at the site, is calling on people to lobby Malvern Hills District Council to throw out the application, which comes after the two previous bids failed.

Richard Norman, from Tenbury Futures, urged residents to get behind the campaign to block the supermarket by writing directly to the planning authority.
