This is a quick post to say thank you to the Cornish Times who have mentioned ilovelooe.co.uk and my Tesco Poll (on the right →) in their paper on the letters page (17).
If you haven’t got a copy then I suggest you pop out and buy one over the weekend as there is a full page of letters AGAINST the Tesco store proposal.
No doubt next week will see another flurry of letters so don’t be afraid to leave your comments here too. Click the huge link below to leave your thoughts on the Tesco Store and the good/negative impact it might have on Looe.
Tell your friends (Facebook, Twitter, phone etc) about the Tesco Poll and ask everyone to vote →
Just a quick update after the Tesco exhibition and consultation in the Looe Community School yesterday and Friday.
You can read some interesting comments both for and against in these two posts:
Is having a Tesco in Looe really a bad thing?
Viking II – The Return of Tesco
I have commented on both and some interesting numbers came to life today as I did some calculations based on figures given to me by one of the reps at the Looe Community School.
NEW – Tesco in Looe free opinion Poll
I have placed a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ opinion poll in the right column – Please vote today. One vote each and all confidential.

It seems only a matter of time now that one of the major stores venture into Looe and with that store possibly going to be Tesco, I ask the question; would that really be a bad thing?
The most popular answer seems to be yes, but why?
Well, again the popular answer is that it would “kill the town”, but how?
Who out of us does our weekly shop at Morrisons in Liskeard or perhaps even further afield?
Why should we have to get up on a Saturday or Sunday morning and drive out of the town rather than popping up to the Barbican?

Coming your way soon! The latest blockbuster for 2012 – ‘Viking II – The Return of Tesco.’
It’s the tale of how an army of cash-driven corporate raiders returned to wreak havoc on the Cornish coast.
With bags of gold, battalions of PR men and London lawyers they set out to invade and colonise a corner of south-east Cornwall by building an edge of town supermarket and then wait for the besieged town to crumble and fall.
Yes, they tried it before and were sent packing. But now they’re back and in January next year the main offensive begins.
