| The issue: |
On your site you say they plan to help the Andover area by creating hundreds of jobs!.As a Tesco worker who will lose his job at Weybridge i can promise you it will bring hardship to andover as Tesco bring in EU workers into the area taking up housing and school places from the local people of andover .At all new depots almost 70% of the workforce are from east europe please make sure the local people are awhare of the facts .Its bad enough to loose ones job of 21 years to a Europian worker but at least in weybridge the homes and school places are not under threat |

| My response: |
Many thanks for this - there is a vigorous campaign in and around Andover called STOP - which I support - which is opposed to this megashed. It goes to committee next month, and we are doing all we can to persuafe councillors to turn down the application. What you say about jobs is helpful - and I am most grateful.
Best wishes, George Young |
