There has been a quite extensive false ceiling collapse at the Tesco Express in Crown Street which at the time of writing this is closed. Thankfully no one appears to have been injured.
I have asked the council to look into whether there have been any breaches of health and safety or planning rules.
Update:
1) It seems that Tesco are taking advantage of this site to keep themselves informed of developments in Katesgrove, so welcome. They have visited on the 8th, 10th, 23rd, 25th and 29th of June whilst their local lobbyists Green Issues based in South Street, have visited on the 10th, 11th, 19th, 22nd and 29th.
2) They also still cannot help letting their suppliers and contractors park on the pavement. It goes to the heart of our objections to their store in Crown Street. It is a completely unsuitable location.
Update (2):
And a car and a van parked there again tonight. Might be worth having a word with the PCSOs!
Update (3)
And bus lanes are for... Tesco delivery vehicles thank you very much.


There also seems to be a van permanently parked in the middle of the road on the traffic island - even when I leave for work at about half 8. I am so glad I don't live at that end of London Street.

Also, the day after the roof collapse, one of the workmen's vans (there were four in total, all on the path) was completely blocking the pedestrian crossing that side of the road. You could have understood if it was needed to be in that place for some essential purpose, but it just appeared to be parked there.
