  2. "Ludlow is doing really well now"..

    That wouldn't appear to be borne out according to the Shropshire Star's recent article: "Town suffering as trade evaporates", Thursday 13th May 2010..

    Ludlow Tesco are reported to be overtrading at their end of town and are [staff comment] "just too, too busy" while the rest of the town loses custom.. Little wonder this lady makes a point about the town not at the Tesco end then:

    "Margaret Edwards, of EJ Poyners in Broad Street, said: “Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the busier days for us, but Mondays to Wednesdays are terrible now. The trade is just finished up this end of the town.”

    Trade has polarised to the big discounting corporate superstore[s] leaving the many of other Ludlow traders high and dry and some [according to the article] facing closure.. I'd say that was a good way from "doing really well now" personally..

  6. I'm keen that all and anything said here can be tracked back to it's source in terms of proof..

    Remember much of what Tesco would like you to believe [such as the '180' jobs] can be easily disputed when you look into it a little more. Tesco's own representative Julia Willoughby was quoted just recently as saying: "the 180 jobs given for Tenbury is a guideline, there is no set figures at this stage”. Given the proposed Tenbury Tesco is about 2/3 the size of the Ludlow one and Ludlow has [I'm told] approx 170 staff the figures clearly don't add up.. It's a carrot dangled in front of the people of Tenbury - many of whom [understandably in this financial climate] want to believe it..

    If you dispute the Shropshire Star's article on Ludlow's small shops falling on hard times though why not have a look yourself [link below]. If after reading you still dispute it factually then I'd suggest taking it up with the guys at the newspaper..

  7. I guess 180 jobs might also include the supply chain (bake the bread, drive the lorry, print the posters etc) and head office. (& cleaners and other subcontractors)

    The Ludlow area around Tesco (&Aldi) is doing well, it's the shops furthest away that are having problems. High streets are 'organic' places, shops come & shops go. As technology and trends change then so do the retailers. The shopkeepers at the 'top of their game' do well, but as in so many other businesses if you dont 'deliver' on choice, customer service, value for money etc etc, you will eventually fail.
