🚨 BISHOPS STORTFORD Tesco Planning Alert: More Than Just a Shop Swap! 🚨

If you’ve seen the planning application to replace our local charity donation centre. (Ref: 3/26/0528/FUL), you might want to look closer at the plans.  
 
It’s not just about losing a place to donate; it’s about where they are putting it.  

The "Smell" Factor: The placement is right where cooking smells and potentially a new designated smoking area will blow directly into the faces of families trying to park and unpack their cars.

Car Park Chaos: We already know that the car park is a squeeze. Adding more structures in high-traffic pedestrian areas is a recipe for accidents and more congestion.

Losing Charity Space: Replacing a community-focused donation point with a commercial unit feels like a step backward for Bishops Stortford.

WE NEED YOUR VIEWS!   The council needs to hear from residents, not just corporate planners. If you don't want to be greeted by fumes and less space while you shop, make your voice heard on the portal.
