Tesco is the only supermarket in the centre of Kirkcaldy (population 50,000), the second largest town in Fife. Many of the people who shop there do not have cars but can shop there easily due to the store's proximity to the bus station.

Fife is an area of high unemployment and the store's closure will lead to 189 job losses.

There are no other Tesco stores in the town and this particular one is well-used and always busy. Its closure will have a devastating effect on Kirkcaldy town centre. 

The other stores earmarked for closure across the UK are in areas which have several other Tescos close by. This is not the case in Kirkcaldy.

We love our Tesco Kirkcaldy store. Please rethink your decision to close it!.
