Obviously there were massive games being played, but Tesco managed to get their new store built at Monkwearmouth, whilst Im presuming still operating the smaller store in The Bridges?

There were rumours that Morrisons were supposed to be building a store opposite Maingate at Team Valley, but that was knocked back on the basis of the Birtley store (which is closer to the store at Chester, all be it with a different local authority.)
