Thanks Dave,
Very interesting!!!
Am meeting with Tesco, hopefully, in November, in relation to a new local
store, and have already raised this with them and other issues, so will
let you know if I get anywhere.
I understand from discussions with Marks and Spencer over some time, that
they are intending to set up an advisory group drawn from access groups but
don't have any more details yet. This is obviously an issue for them too.
Best wishes
Flick
