TESCO is scrapping around 170 planned stores around the UK as a costcutting measure.

It comes after the retailer got its fingers burnt in the US market. Unfortunately for some campaigners in Poole, the shop in Sandbanks is not one of those biting the dust.

Residents say they will boycott the store, due to open on the site of the old Sandacres pub in July. A protest campaign has been set up. Given the number of visitors that Sandbanks attracts. the shop is likely to be a success. With or without the patronage of locals.
