Good luck to Holmfirth residents who are campaigning against Tesco, and any other superstore, gaining a toehold in their town. Tesco might insist that its proposed new store would offer residents "more choice", but a quick look around Britain's ghost town centres and their boring identikit out-of-centre store-parks demonstrates exactly what that "choice" really means in the long term. Tesco's profits are already bloated beyond comprehension, sense or justice. Let's hope "Keep Holmfirth Special" is successful, and can shows the way forward for other small towns that want to keep or claw back their individuality.
