Tom Woodcocks campaign presentation...



  • Tom Woodcock is a secretary of the trades union council
  • He showed us different campaigns , the Tesco campaign,Postal workers...
  • He has partisipated in many campaigns, including the Royal mail strike
www.nomillroadtesco.org

One of the campaigns mentioned is the Tesco issue-The Tesco Metro on Mill Road

  • over 5,000 people signed a petition and 1,000 people objected to it's planning applications
  • The 'No Mill road Tesco ' Campaign was set up to oppose and kept Mill Road Tesco-free for alomost 2 years
  • Now because there is a Tesco on Mill Road, means that other food shops are going to suffer-people are going to want to go to Tesco...
  • There are a lot of disadvantages:more Tesco vans going down Mill road, putting other businesses out of business , and there are enough places where you can buy food:Co-op, grocery stores, restaurants..
