The planned Tesco Superstore in Tenbury has generated a lot of controversy, with strong views being expressed on both sides. Supporters said a large supermarket would bring increased choice to the town and attract more shoppers, but opponents claimed that a Tesco would take trade away from existing shops and damage the town's character. A successful Tesco would increase traffic, which is a worry to many local residents, whether or not they support the store itself. A small improvement to the junction by Swan Garage is planned, but concerns have been raised that traffic queues could back up across Teme Bridge and past the access to the Tesco site, possibly leading to gridlock.

be provided at the store, which some have criticised as being insufficient. The car park is expected to offer 109 spaces, but eight spaces would be reserved for Temeside House, the former council buildings on Teme Street. The Teme Valley Times has ascertained that a conveyance drawn up some decades ago gave the owners or tenants of the neighbouring building (currently occupied by SPAR, Pizza Diann and the launderette) the right to park six cars on what is now the proposed Tesco site. This would appear to limit the number of spaces that could be made available to shoppers in the future, and might also create difficulties if the site cannot be properly closed off during construction, as is common practice while extensive works are being undertaken.

THE LOCAL CIDER Foxwhelp, Kingston Black, Brown Snout and Tom Putt are just some of the traditional Teme Valley cider apple varieties skilfully blended to create Robinsons Flagon Cider. It's medium dry, variably hazy and gently sparkling to retain that delicious flavour: cider just as it should be. Pressed by the Robinsons on their farm at Little Hereford near Tenbury, the quantities produced are limited and you won't find Robinsons Cider much beyond the great local pubs in our immediate area. For a full list of stockists go to the website because Robinsons Cider is well worth seeking out. Enjoy it.
