Has anyone noticed that Brookside has gone into administration from the end of last month (Stockport Express public notices and on their sales counter).
Question - who is going to buy it or does this throw open the Tesco issue again ? |

However there were also rumours that the Dobbies Garden Centre group, mainly based in Scotland, and themselves the subject of a takeover by Tesco, were interested in buying the site (as a garden centre). |

There is more chance of me getting a hole in one, than Tesco putting a supermarket on Brookside.
Every set of planning guidance from the plannig authority is against it. 1. It is out of town 2. It will not fullfil the needs requirement. ( Recent study said there was room for 1 Supermarket in H.G. Sainsbury built it) 3. Until H.G. by-pass There is insufficient capacity on the road. 4 Green belt policies forbid it. There are more policies I could list but neeless to say Tesco at Brookside. Forget it. |

So we might get a Waitrose there too!
Stockpoprt could charge for the car park. |
